Analysing data from Hyperworks CFD

Hello,

What is the best way to extract data from monitors (like rakes and probes) from an acusolve results file.

I need to compare the data to wind tunnel results so need to be able to transfer it to excel ideally.

Thanks!

    Rather than export each node separately is it possible to export them as a rake?

    Also is it possible to specify the time step, for instance just the final step?

    Thanks!

     

    With acuTrans it writes each location to a separate file - and all time steps.  I don't think there's a way around that.

    In HWCFD Post, you can use the Probe Point array to create/import your rake of x/y/z locations - hit Calculate to populate that with results - then save to a file.  This file has all the locations and data in one file.  (If you import your set of points to define the rake, it should be comma-separated, as in the attached file.)
