Export CSV and VTK data

Export processed values for analysis or three-dimensional visualization.

CSV output

plopm -i examples/SPE11C -v pressure -s ,1, -r 2 -m csv -fn pressure_end_simulation

Use plopm -cc when the input itself is a CSV file.

VTK output

plopm -i examples/SPE11B -v pressure,sgas -m vtk -fp flow -vn pressure,gas_saturation

Result

The first command generates the pressure_end_simulation.csv file, while the second one generates three files: SPE11B.pvd, SPE11B-GRID.vtu, and SPE11B-0005.vtu, which can be visualized in ParaView.

How it works

plopm -m

Selects CSV or VTK output.

plopm -fp

Selects the Flow executable used for VTK grid generation.

plopm -vn

Sets readable names for exported VTK variables.
