Export Particle Data From Fluent to Paraview

liliana · January 30, 2014, 15:55

Hi all,

does everyone know how can I export particle data from Fluent 14.5 to Paraview?

The possibles formats that Fluent allow to export particle data seems incompatible with paraview.

I opened the case and the fluid properties in paraview, but I do not know how to import the particles data.

Anyone?

Thanks!

I'm sorry, I don't have an answer to your question.

But I need help with tracking particles positions. I want to make a file that have all the positions and velocities for all my time-steps, but I don't know how.

I tried to use the Graphics and Animations->Particle Tracks-> Reporting-> current positions and report to-> file. I select the variables I want in Reporting Variables. This process only let me save a file with the last position, not all of them during my simulation.

Can you help me?

As the question from Marcoscp2 is exactly what I try to do, I decided to bring back this post!

Does anybody know how to extract the position of each particle wrt time?
I need that in order to get the z-coordinate-vs-time plot for each particle.
