[OpenFOAM] Data Extraction in ParaView

philiplu · December 18, 2019, 00:20

Hello,
to extract data in ParaView by "File->save data":
(then) in the out-coming "configure Wirter"-dialog-box, there're 3 opts available:
"Points"
"Cells"
"Field data"

I assume, "Cells" refers to "Cell-Centers", but what does "Field data" mean?

btw. it's possible in ParaView to record "marcros"?

thank you in advance

Hi,

I am not sure either what field data would be, but regarding the macro's:

Yes you can, you can use the python trace tool (Tools>start trace) to record a python script which you can than add as a macro (Macros>add new macro). Of course you may need to edit the script first.

Hope someone can give more information on the field data for you.

Cheers,
Tom
