Hello every one,
I would like to save my contour image file for every required time step ( unsteady state ) simulation. can any one suggest me how to implement. with out doing manual work, importing data file to fluent for every time step .
After completion of simulation i want to export all my contour images ( at defined time step). I am trying to implement, like Calculation activity>solution animation> create> giving time step 500> define my contour image ( like pressure, velocity ). I am failing to import. after completion of simulation it is showing like each time step like a frame. If i use forward option i can observer number of frame option. I want to import those frame.
Looking forward to your suggestions.
thank you
Hello
If You want to check every time step individually , for example, You can Save data file every one time step (calculation activities -> autosave). If You want to have this pictures in .tiff on Your hard disc, You have to write in a calculation activites a short command (in execute command window) for eg. "/display/hc "***%t.tiff"", where *** is a first three letter of the file name. You also define how often the pictures have to be saved ( eg. for every one iteration, or time step ). You can find this files in the catalog dp0/FFF/Fluent. Don't forget to display the contours before start the simulations (it is sometimes important - it depends on the Fluent version You use)
Hope it helps You
Thank you Przemysalw, i would like to know where i need to write this command in calculation activity, can you specify clear path?? if you given snap shoot it makes really good. I am great thank full to your postive response.
You can find it like on the screenshot - remember you have define how much commands You write and you need to activate the command
Dear Przemyslaw Mlynarczyk, for 3d case, if i want fluent record only x-y plane for example, how to do that?
i've tried to follow your suggestion above, but the contours provide me 3d picture as not my expected
regards
