Hello everyone,

I have a question concerning the post-processing part of Star-CCM+.
Instead of manually creating a hardcopy or export of data,
I would like to have plots of specific scenes and residuals at the end of the simulation.

Now there is an option to create those views at specific update events, but I can't find the option to create these in Tools (licensing problems?).

Of course there is the option to create plots at specific iteration intervals, but I still can not believe that there isn't some option to create all required data at the end of the simulation (or more specifically: when the stopping criteria is met).

Is there some option to tie the hardcopy export to the end of the simulation event?

Thanks in advance !

Kind Regards,
RM

Hi RM,

i assume your question refers to an interactive solution? In that case i don't know a solution.

However, a short macro can solve this task easily. It can be find and in the steve portal.

If you just need to "run" and export all plots you would end up with such a macro:

import star.common.*; 
import star.vis.*;   

public class runAndSavePlotScences extends StarMacro {       
  public void execute() {           
    Simulation sim = getActiveSimulation();

    // run until stop crits are met
    sim.getSimulationIterator().run();
                
    for (Scene scn : sim.getSceneManager().getScenes()) {
      scn.open(true);
      scn.printAndWait(resolvePath(scn.getPresentationName() + ".jpg"), 1, 1920, 1080);
    }
        
    for (StarPlot plt : sim.getPlotManager().getObjects()) {
      plt.encode(resolvePath(plt.getPresentationName() + ".jpg"), "jpg", 1920, 1080);
    }
  }
}

Best regards,
