If you run the following command: cfx5mondata - showvars myresults.res (where you replace myresults.res with you actual results file name). You will get a list of all the possible monitoring data for that results file. If you just wanted a single one you can use the command: cfx5mondata -res myresults.res -varlist "USER POINT,inlet massflow" -out output_file.csv this will extract the monitoring point data that had been set up to monitor the Mass Flow through the inlet, and send it to a file called output_file.csv. To know what to put in the section after -varlist, this can be seen in the list of variables obtained from the -showvars command above.
