Exporting data from CFD-Post using Power Syntax script

      Hi,

      I've created a Power Syntax script for post-processing transient CFD results from Fluent with 200 timesteps in CFD-Post. The script creates ~200 planes for which it uses the in-built massFlowAve function to calculate their mass flow-weighted average temperatures which will then be applied as reference temperatures in conjunction with y-plus heat transfer coefficients to a thermo-mechanical FE model. I set the script up to tabulate the data in the Table Viewer and then export them as a .csv file but have realised the limits of columns / rows is nowhere near large enough to accommodate the amount of data. Is there a way to extend the limits of Tables in Table Viewer? Alternatively, is there a better way to export the data as a .csv file?

      Many thanks for any help.

      Jason

      The Table Viewer is limited to 200 rows and 26 columns (A-Z).  With a larger amount of data, I would modify the script to directly export the data to a .csv file that could then be opened and post-processed in Excel.  If you need assistance modifying your script to do this, please submit an Ansys service request and a support engineer can assist you.
