Hi Foamers,

i used sample utility after running a case and a set directory is created within case directory. it contains u.xy and p.xy files but i don't know how to use these files to plot results. any one have an idea?
thanks

Did you look into these files? They should be self-explanatory.

do you mean it is used to read values not to plot it

It just shows columns with data that you chose. If you want to read or plot it is up to you.

ok, thanks. how could i plot it using these files.

Any plotting program can plot data structured in columns. I prefer gnuplot. Some people like Grace, others like Matlab, and some spreadsheatoholic use Excel, Gnumeric, ooCalc. That is really up to you.
