To whom it may concern,

I am trying to export the normal velocity distribution data over time from a vessels’ cross-section surface using Ensight software. The pulsatile velocity was enforced at the inlet boundary conditions of the vessel during the simulation. After the simulation was done, I loaded all time-varying simulation results to Ensight. Then, I created a surface in the middle of the vessel by using the “Clip” button, as can be found in Fig. 1.

File \ Export \ Geometric Entities \ Flatfile will export nodal data for all active variables for the currently selected part. If the data is element based, you'll need to add CELLID to the Parameters box.

Thanks so much for your answer, Steve. It helped me a lot. One more question is: Can I export the coordinate of elements ID if the data is element based?
Thanks again!

I think you'll need to create custom variables for each coordinate, then convert these variable to Element variables with the NodeToElem function.

Thanks so much for your answer. It works!
