Monitor data

Hi, experts.

I have two questions: (1) and (2)

(1)

When I tried to output the Surfaces and Volumes data in Solution > Monitors in HyperWorks CFD using AcuTrans, the following error was displayed. Could you please tell me the cause of this and how to solve it?

acuTrans: *** ERROR: Surface_integral_output_vars <eddy_viscosity> not available

The execution command for outputting "Surfaces" and "Volumes" is as follows.

<Surfaces>:acuTrans -pb Tube -osi -osis "Surface output" -osiv step,time,vel,pres,eddy

<Volumes>:acuTrans -pb Tube -oei -oeis "Volume output" -oeiv step,time,vel,pres,eddy

The error message says "<eddy_viscosity> not available," but the AcuSolve log file shows that eddy viscosity (using RNG k-epsilon) is output, as shown below.

When I output the point data set in Solution > Monitors > Probe using AcuTrans, the attached data (original format is .oth file) was output. I don't know what each column of data is because there are no headers. Could you please tell me what these columns mean?
