How to export data on planes to CSV Files

New-to-CFD · January 19, 2017, 02:45

Hi guys...

When running a simulation, how can I define a given plane area and have the data of the grid points plotted at that plane, and exported to CSV file? such as pressure, velocity etc. for given time steps..maybe a contour map but exported?

Either as (X,Y,Z,value) columns

or

2D matrix with values for a given z plane (horizontal)

??

All without using paraview, through some sort of post processing script.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!
