Bulk results from multiple regions on a plane..

Hi

I need to compare the flow rate through multiple resistance regions that all have their exhausts on the same plane. There are no gaps between the regions so Bulk Results sees them as a single region.

 

Is there a quick/automated way to obtain the CFM through each region individually? I can use bulk results with only one region visible at a time but then I have to manually paste results for each run into a spreadsheet which I'm finding a little labor intensive.

 

Thanks,

jon

An alternate way (which may be initially a bit complicated) is to save the bulk results to a comma separated value (CSV) file and then use Excel to automate what you are doing.

Hope this helps a bit.

There's still the problem of the Bulk Results (and CSV file)  showing a single flow rate for all the regions combined. To get a flow rate for each region I still need to use visibility to isolate them one at a time.

Sorry about that- it seems that presently the visualization software does not provide the feature that you seek. However, i may be wrong on this claim and others might know better.

Not sure if I understand your problem but have you tried "slicing" the geometry in such a way that each resistance region is contained by one part. After you have results, you can hide the other regions and see the bullk result on the plane of the only region that is visible. This way you can alternate between all regions and get your flows.

Yes that's the way I'm working. Problem is I might have 12 regions and 6 design iterations meaning I have to go through the process 72 times to manually collect all the data I need.
