Export of a spatial quantity and formula

Introduction

The user has the possibility to export the values of a spatial quantity or formula :

  • multipoint support
  • volume or surface region
  • 2D or 3D grid

Option regarding localization

The user can choose to filter the support points chosen by specifying the region where the calculus points must be found.

Thus only the calculi of the points belonging to the specified region will be exported.

Export format

A spatial quantity / formula from a support can be exported to a file which different format available are:

Format Description
*.DEX

DEX = Data EXchange

format specific to Flux
*.NAS Nastran format for AcuSolve
*.IP IP is a format for the Fluent software
*.VTK Visualization ToolKit format
