Under File->Export, specify the surface that you wish to plot the variable on. Check the box \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Line and Face Connectivity\u00e2\u20ac\u009d under \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Export Geometry Information\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, and press \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Save\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Edit the .csv file in a text editor or MS Excel. Add the variable name to the list at the top of the file, and the column of variable values that correspond with the (x,y,x) coords. Under File->Import, browse for the modified .csv file. The new surface will show up in the tree view (e.g. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Imported Plane 1\u00e2\u20ac\u009d). Click on the surface to edit. Under Variable, select the new variable from the list (e.g. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Var on Imported Plane 1\u00e2\u20ac\u009d) and hit \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Apply\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-164627","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-4424","topic-tag-cfd-post","topic-tag-fluid-dynamics","topic-tag-general"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
