[General] Save unsteady data from a plane in Paraview

rabz · September 24, 2020, 09:32

Hello, I'm doing a series of unsteady simulations and I want to analyse the data using Paraview.
What I'm currently doing is saving the data every "X" amount of time steps in a "ensight-gold " format however given that the data is saved for the whole domain every time, the total size of the files becomes astronomical.
I would like to know if there is a way to save the data only from a specific plane or surface in the domain and further reduce the total size of the files.
Any further advice on how to properly deal with unsteay data using Paraview will be more than welcomed.

Thank you a lot in advance.

Ensight gold format supports surface data with various element types. Triangles, quads, polygons...
