saving scalar variable

Post by jr33 »

I have been checking following thread for saving scalar variable: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=478

I guess GUI has changed a lot since then.

1) where to find in GUI: Procedure = "SaveData" "SaveScalars"
2) I have activated ResultOutput option, .vtk format, scalarFiled 1= Temperature, how to specify coordinate?

Thanks
Jay

Hi Jay

1) xml file for SaveScalars should be located in edf-extra directory of your installation.

2) Coordinate would be, e.g., "Coordinate 1". However, it should be always saved anyway so this is redundant info. My recommendation is to use format "VTU" if your postprocessor understands it. It has all the bells and whisles while legacy VTK is quite limited.
