[OpenFOAM] Plot over line in the paraFoam question?

tareqkh · March 22, 2015, 01:09

Hello All,

I hope that you are all having a nice weekend! I have been using paraFoam for a while. In fact, it is an excellent visualizer. However, I am unable to extract some data to plot it in another software like gnuplot. I have used plot over line in the filter menu in order to see some data. The problem that when I need to extract the data, there is no option for that. I am asking anyone of you who has the same experience to handle this issue.

Regards,

Hi,

from what I know, when you have your plot over a line in paraFoam, with the right variables (p, U or whatever), you can clic 'File' -> 'save data' and this saves a .csv file with the data from the plot that you can use with gnuplot.

Hope this helps !

Regards,
Daniel
