UDF's to access Postprocess data

December 15, 2003, 09:39

I'm trying to write a UDF to export postprocessing data. Does anybody know how to access global node variables sequentially. The user manual only talks about cell variables and I'm assuming these are just average values across the cells.

Thanks

Dont waste your time trying to do that. So many of us have tried to do that. The unstructured solver produces unstructured data files in FE brick/quad format which is difficult nut to crack. However do ask the fluent support to help you with the problem althouhg I am sure that they would not be of any help

Still Trying
