How to export multiple Far Field RCS Graph Data at once in feko?

<Question regarding how to use Altair FEKO>
I used Feko to obtain RCS data at specific ranges of elevation and azimuth angles(actually almost all ranges). I divided the elevation angle from 0 degrees to 180 degrees in 1-degree increments, and for each elevation angle, I gathered RCS data from 0 to 360 degrees in azimuth.

As a result, I obtained datas in polar coordinate form for the azimuth angles at all elevations as desired.

The thing is, I would like to export each of these data points as a .dat file all at once.

Exporting each Far Field shape individually for each elevation angle is cumbersome and time-consuming if done 181 times(you know, selecting degree - export .dat - naming file - again selecting another degree...).

moreover, if I need to extend increments more densly, for example 0.1 degree, doing it all manually is infeasible.

Is there a way to automate this process? I attach my cfx and pfx files. 

 

 

also I will shwo you Images. this is my Plane Wave Source Range.

in posfeko, from 0 degree azimuth, all the way to...

180 degree

I also attach example .dat file of what I want to have.

    Hi Yun,

    Unfortunately, the export of .dat files to POSTFEKO cannot be automated very well. Perhaps it would be better in your case to export the field data directly during the simulation (export to .ffe)?

    Best regards,

    I exported ffe file and made python code to handle the data what I needed, and my problem solved, rcs values and azimuth-elevation angles were written there. many thanks for help
