Hello guys, i'm working on FSI project of a transient bending wing analysis.

I want to obtain the aerodynamics characteristics (example: CL, CD and Cm) and also the spanwise lift distribution of the results for each time steps.
I also want to use MATLAB to access and read the output file from the CFX, so that I can process the results that I need using MATLAB, such as plotting the graph, etc.

Do you guys have any suggestions or references in order to solve this case?
Thank you for your attention.

1. create monitor points for the desired variables (cl, cd, etc.)
2. use command line tool "cfx5mondata" to save monitor points as *.csv (look up the use of cfx5mondata in the manual/help or search this forum).
3. import the *.csv in Matlab

That's my work flow as well. All handling of the data (averaging, calculations, creating&saving graphs, writing Excel files, etc.) is done with some Matlab routines I've written myself.

Thanks for your suggestions, it really helps.
Another question, what if I want to extract the data outside the monitor points? Are there any methods to obtain it simultaneously?

You're welcome.
What kind of data outside the monitor points are you thinking of?
via cfx5mondata -showvars you can see all possible variables, that the mondata routine can extract.
