Extract velocity from probes at every timestep to be used in Macro

howarceus · April 18, 2023, 12:18

I have 10 point probes and I want to extract the velocity (9 of the probes will take only the y velocity and 1 of the probes will take only the x velocity) at every timestep to be used in my macro where the velocity data will be put in a vector in my Java macro to do some calculations with mutiplications of matrices and etc.

I don't know how to extract the velocity measurements though as I'm unable to use monitors and I'm not exactly sure how to take the specific points using an XYZ table.

Define the 10 reports in the GUI, one for each of the probes. In your macro, run the getValue() method on each of them.

Hi, thanks, I didn't know how to get the reports for the probes when it comes to velocity, but realised i can use Maxreports
