  Hello!
  
  Is there a way to save the data that generates the plot from the "Report Plots" from the "Monitor Section" in Fluent 2020? Because there is variables there which I only found them there to plot, so I wanted to save the data.
  
  Thanks!

  Hello,
  
  You can choose the option, print to console and the console output can be written to a file. To write the console output to a file, please refer to the following discussion.

  Hello,
  
  There are two ways to do this
  
  1. Report plots are based on Report definitions. These definitions can be written out to file using Report Files.
  
  2. You can setup an XY plot that is the same as your Report Plot but can be written out to file, in Results->Plots->XY Plot
  
  Thanks,

  Thanks a bunch! I managed to save it! My problem was that I needed to select the box when I created the report file to "generate report file" then I could save the file and also if I selected "to output to console" save the script file.
