Saving the data from XY plot to csv files using API

Anonymous — Tue, 16 Oct 2018 12:43:04 GMT

Dear all,

I would like to write an API in order to save the XY plots (for example 5 sets of plots) in to csv files.

Do you have an example of such API or another solution?

Best regards, SAFI

Don't think that will be possible. There are no function calls for that; that area of the interface was never really exposed to the API.

Hello,

Thank you very much for the response.

Do you have any suggestion to export air velocity and temperature at some points near a solid surface?

Best regards, Safi

Hi,

If it is for a few set of plots. Forget API and go manual no?

just export results within the XY plot.

Yes, the API does have a monitorPoint() function which does allow you to extract results at a specified location. You could specify a number of these points and then assemble the data into Excel to create an XY plot. Suggest you look at the results_per_iteration_step.py example in the API documentation.

Hi Mark,

thanks for the reply. Indeed, I still think it could be a way to export the plotxy as long as we can export the points. I checked the codes and tried to modify them, however it did not work. Since I have 20 plotxy, getting the points corresponding to each plot xy, would be very much confusing and small error may destroy my simulations.
By now, I still manually export plot xy, but please let me know if there is a modified code for export the Plot-xy automatically.
