Hello all,
I've searched the forums but found only results for transient results a function of time and for a single coordinate.
I made a transient simulation, in CFD-Post i created a line and made a chart with the pressure as a function of X on that line like so (attached image):


I know to export the data to a .csv file, but how i can do it automaticly for all time steps, and hopefull to one chart where i have a matrix where the columns are for time and rows are for X or vice-versa ?

Thanks alot !

There is a command line option to access the monitor point data, cfx5mondata. Look in the documentation for details on how to use it. You can then put it in a batch/script file and automate generation of CSV files like this.

Can I do this with a line defined in CFD-Post?

If not, how can i automate thw generation of monitor data points along some wall, i want to create many monitor points in order to have good resolution.

Thank you.

If the line is in CFD-Post you can automate it using a session file. The easiest way to start with session files is to record a session file as you do the actions you are interested, then look at the recorded session file. You can edit it to include looping, variables and logic, then re-run it to do your automated actions.

Thank you !

I didn't know about the sessions in CFD-Post.
I implemented what you said. created a session, in which i wasplotting and exporting one graph. Then i searched the forums to see how to edit the file and add a loop with Perl code.

After that i wrote a Matlab script that automaticly loads all the files into a single matrix.
Thanks a lot !

I added the codes for anyone that finds this post in the future and encountered a similar problem.
