Hi everybody,

I know that this topic has been covered in previous posts, and I have gathered some useful information from them, but now I am kind of stuck on my problem. I am a new user of Fluent, so I am not sure if this is the correct approach to follow.

I am running a transient simulation over a complex geometry and I would like to export a confined set of points each time step for post-processing in tecplot. I have produced a matlab script that defines the points to export and generates a file journal that makes fluent define those points (as point-surface) and set up an automatic export case. (I have no experience in UDFs, so I haven't investigated the possibility of using them)

However, even by grouping those points, I would get a tecplot export like:

HEADER (title, variables) ORDERED ZONE RECORD (ZONE = "node_1"....)
DATA FOR NODE 1
1 (I guess it's the connettivity matrix for one single node)
ORDERED ZONE RECORD (ZONE = "node_2"....)
DATA FOR NODE 2

1 (I guess it's the connettivity matrix for one single node) (...)


receiving a tecplot error. I would like something like:


HEADER (title, variables)
ORDERED ZONE RECORD (ZONE = "zone"....)
DATA


Is it possible to create a zone with all the points so to eliminate the problem I mentioned? Is there any smarter approach to what I want to achieve?


Thanks in advance
