Exporting data from 1D line plot

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi all, I'm running a time dependent study to calculate temperature of a model, with multiple (3) values for a single parameter. I'm interested in studying how temperature changes along a line in the model through time, for all 3 parameter values.

I created a cut line 3d and then a 1d plot group to look at temperature along the line. When I export the data as a text file, it outputs two columns, arc length along the line, and corresponding temperature. The values of arc length along the line repeat periodically, I assume for different temperatures / parameter value combinations. But it would be a lot easier to understand the data if I had corresponding columns for time and parameter value.

Does anyone know how this can be added to the exported data? Or can I assume the data is presented such that all times for the first parameter are shown first, then all times for the second parameter, etc.?

Thanks for your help.

You can control this behavior in the Export > Plot node: Set If multiple curves to Append as columns.

Thanks for your reply Gunnar. I don't see this option within Export > Plot node. Maybe this could be due to my older version (5.3a)?

Yes, I don't think that that option was available in 5.3a.
