Dear REEF3D Team,
Similar to the image in section 9.37 of the REEF3D manual, I would like to export the free surface at each time step as a DAT file to assist me in subsequent processing. For example, in a 3D scenario with 10 time steps, how should I export the spatial changes of the free surface for each time step? I appreciate your assistance in advance. Best regards, cody Last edited by a7878455; November 29, 2023 at 11:27. Reason: Allow me to restate my original question. |

It is possible to print out the free surface as vtp file (see P180 onwards).

Hi Hans, thank you for responding to my question.
I recently reviewed the manual and also came across this command. It exports vtu files. Is there a way to convert them to dat files? I want to be able to read them into MATLAB for subsequent data processing. |

You could write from ParaView to csv.

Thank you for providing feedback on REEF3D.
The output from P180 looks very good. However, when I set up structures in REEF3D and output the free surface, the results around the structures are very strange. Additionally, in the results from ParaView, a peculiar free surface appears around the structures in the constricted area within the terrain region (image named paraview_fsf_30, marked with a blue check in the picture). During the data post-processing, it seems that the CSV file did not export the free surface in the constricted area (image named matlab_fsf_30). |
