I could not see an option for exporting results data in EnSight format

I am trying to export results data in .case format to be able to process it in EnSight. I do not see any other export format apart from Text. Do I need to update any settings to be able to see this option?

EDEM version - 2022.1

    Hi Kiran,

    Does the dropdown give you anything, it should allow the EnSight option to be selected:

    If this isn't shown it maybe to do with any queries already setup.  If so I'd recommend either creating a new Configuration with the green + or as an alternative closing EDEM.  Re-naming or deleting the simulation_name.dfg and then going to the export again.  This will reset all the Analyst settings back to default.


    Regards

    Hello Stephen,

    I do not see any other option in drop down menu. I have tried deleting the .Dfg file and re exporting again but still could not see ensight option. 

    Do I need to export it at beginning of simulation? I have tried it after the simulation has completed.

    Hi Kiran,


    Ensight export isn't supported for Polyhedral particles, if you have a polyhedral then the export would be disabled.

    Hi Stephen,

     

    I did not use any polyhedral particles. I have tried exporting it using sphero cylindrical particles but ensight option was disabled. I could try using multi sphere particles and see if it makes any difference.

    Hi Kiran,


    That looks to be the issue. Same for Sphero-Cylinders as well as Polyhedrals.  The EnSight export is only active for multi-sphere particle types.
