I'm running a transient thermal simulation in Fluent that started at 14°C. After running for a while, temperature reached 16°C, and I saved the case and data files before stopping. When I reopened these files to continue the simulation, the report definitions only show data starting from 16°C (where I left off).I know my complete solution data should be stored in the files since the case/data files were properly saved. However, I can't figure out how to access the full temperature history from the initial 14°C through the current state.What's the correct way to extract the complete temperature history spanning the entire simulation when you've stopped and continued in Fluent?

Fluent doesn't retain data other than values at the current time step. If you have monitors it's common to save these to file, so when you resume the run Fluent will append (usually) and you may want/need to display in Excel or similar.
