Flow simulation isolines export

Txon Aguirre Nov 23, 2014 6:35 AM

In Flow Simulation: Is it possible to export isolines from cutplots, for a variable as as (X,Y, Variable_value) files ?

If not, woudn`t it be a good improvement ?

Thanks in advance

you can export the cell information, that should give you what you want to do. the isoline are derived from those values.

  Hi Jared:
  I did it. Nice and useful. I used the Mesh export for the wake field and wake factor computation of a real hull-propeller joint. It has been easy and simple to do (a little slow, due to the big ammount of cells, that have had to be exported in parts).
  I exported a narrow mesh, wich envelopes the propeller disk (Radius=2.5m), asking for the axial speed component (V(Z) in my case). Resulted in 60410 cells (Averaged 14mm³ each). Once in Excel, after some work and by integration and comparison with the "open waters flow" I got the wake factor.
  
  My most sincere thanks.
