Extracting CV/cell data, position, and number

jseamon1 · May 12, 2021, 13:45

Hello All!

I have been looking around to see if there is a way to directly access CV/cell data individually. For example, in software ADINA, one can select the option to see each CV/cell and get any quantities of interest directly at any cell position (see adinaExp.png). Does anyone know if this is possible in STAR-CCM+ without creating a point probe at each cell?

On a related note, I was also wondering if there is any way to export contour plot data from STAR-CCM+ in a .csv format or any other related format. When I go in and try to export a contour plot, the only options seem to be picture type formats.

Thank you all for your help!

There's a number of ways.

If you go towards the bottom of the tree in tools you can create a table and then export this as a .csv. Just choose the correct parts.

Oh, I didn't realize that. Thank you for your help!
