Hello Forum,

I am performing a transient simulation and I export the results to a .csv (Excel) file. However, I have to run multiple simulations behind each other (resuming via interpolation files), so it belongs to one casus.

I use:

/solve/report-files/add/

Currently, I loop this simulation 1000 times, but now also 1000 Excel-files are created. Since they are each others follow-up in time, I would like ANSYS to output all the results in 1 single .csv file. Any thoughts on how I could establish this?

Best regards,

Will

An addition: another workaround would by to manually set the time step to a previous flowtime. Can this be done? If so, how: via the Text User Interface (TUI) code in the journal, or via another method?
Thank you in adv

To obtain actual flowtime
(rpgetvar 'flow-time)

To set it to other time
(rpsetvar 'flow-time ###)

Why do you need the interpolation files to resume the run?

Dear
I am running 2 different simulations that cannot be combined (one using radiation, the other porous media). Thus I interpolate the transient radiation data (of the solar load model) into the second simulation including the porous media.

Is it because of the interplation step that the report-file creates multiple .csv files instead of one?

OK. If the solver thinks it's a new case the append data option for monitors may not work well.
