Exporting data from simulations

netmaster · May 9, 2011, 13:01

Hi Everyone,
I am new here and cant solve a very trivial problem. I am using starccm+ for simulation but for post processing and visualizing i would like to use the data generated from starccm+ and plot them myself. I could not find a way to do so.

For example I have simulated a 3 dimensional steady state flow in rectangular duct. Now I want a scalar field pressure (or any other field function) at each of the centroid in the domain(P(x,y,z)).

I can export the data in formats that can be imported by other post processing softwares such as tecplot but that doesn't solve my purpose. I cant seem to export it in ascii or .csv or .dat format. Ultimately i want to import the simulation data into matlab and manipulate the data there.

Any help regarding this would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Tools>Tables>XYZInternalTable

Select your region as Parts, and the scalars of interest for Scalars. Right-click on the table, and select export.

Thanks f-w. That did the job.

Thanks
