Reply To: Question about write-merge-profile output data in Ansys Fluent 23R1

[carl.muehlbach]

Thank you for your response! I appreciate the clarification regarding the use of xy plots and profiles. However, I have already exported my data using the write-merge-profile function, and I want to make sure I interpret the data correctly:

1. For the exported data along the predefined line, does Fluent interpolate the values directly from the surrounding cells, or are they derived based on the closest cell center or node?
2. If interpolation is involved, what method does Fluent use for the interpolation (e.g., linear, inverse-distance)?
3. Would you recommend re-exporting using xy plots for more precise line data, or are the write-merge-profile results sufficiently accurate for detailed analysis?

Thanks again for your help!
