Default how to extract velocity values from cells

Hi,

I'd like to run transient simulations but keep the history of the solution with StarCCM+ v6.
Right now I'm updating a table and exporting it as csv every n-time steps since someone described how to do that from a macro.
However I'd like to use a binary file format like HDF5 which is more compact and which I know how to post-process (not to mention that tables are exported with only 11 digits).

I am able to write HDF5 files from java macros, but I don't know how to iterate through the cells to collect the values of velocity (or whatever quantity). I also thought about updating a table like before but then iterating through the fields and export the values myself, but the java API documentation is rather thick and hard to understand.

Would someone have knowledge about that or point me towards similar macros that might already exist (i couldn't find any)?

Thanks,
Romain
