Animation of Fluent transient data

Lucas_Gasparino · August 14, 2017, 19:38

Dear sir,

Thank you so much! I'm running a LOT of transient data for my thesis, and loading that one-a-one was just impossible... Now I can do a proper animation and get transient data! As you can imagine, I didn't setup the autosave before starting, and now it's too late to run everything again... Any way in CFD-Post to time-average the multiple solutions? I've got all the .dat and .cas files, for each time step.

Once again, thank you SO much!

CFD-Post cannot do time averaging to my knowledge. Have a look around but I don't think it can.

Don't forget you can automate repetitive actions in CFD-Post with session files.

Yeah, but my post is simple: just a few points measuring velocity u and plots of Q criterion vortex Core surface... Maybe I'll do the averaging on Matlab or Fortran, seems easier anyways... Do you know the TUI command to setup data sampling? I'm used to running fluent using it's GUI, only recently I needed to create a journal for cluster run...

Thank you!
