How to visualize results as a 2D contour slice from .dat file output using fds2ascii ?

[vsi...@simscale.com]

Hi Everyone,

I have extracted average temperature at z-plane 0.25m using method below, now, how can i create a 2D slice from the .dat file in smokeview/paraview ?

Enter Job ID string (CHID):

helium_air_jet_floor

  What type of file to parse?

  PL3D file? Enter 1

  SLCF file? Enter 2

  BNDF file? Enter 3

2

  Enter Sampling Factor for Data?

  (1 for all data, 2 for every other point, etc.)

1

  Domain selection:

    y - domain size is limited

    n - domain size is not limited

    z - domain size is not limited and z levels are offset

    ya, na or za - slice files are selected based on type and location.

        The y, n, z prefix are defined as before.  

y

  Enter min/max x, y and z

0 1.5 0 1.5 0 .75                                 

  Enter starting and ending time for averaging (s)

0 2

  1  VELOCITY  helium_air_jet_floor_01.sf

   slice bounds:     0.00     1.50     0.75     0.75     0.00     0.75

  2  U-VELOCITY  helium_air_jet_floor_02.sf

   slice bounds:     0.00     1.50     0.75     0.75     0.00     0.75

  3  V-VELOCITY  helium_air_jet_floor_03.sf

   slice bounds:     0.00     1.50     0.75     0.75     0.00     0.75

  4  W-VELOCITY  helium_air_jet_floor_04.sf

   slice bounds:     0.00     1.50     0.75     0.75     0.00     0.75

  5  HELIUM VOLUME FRACTION  helium_air_jet_floor_05.sf

   slice bounds:     0.00     1.50     0.77     0.77     0.00     0.75

  6  TEMPERATURE  helium_air_jet_floor_06.sf

   slice bounds:     0.00     1.50     0.77     0.77     0.00     0.75

  7  TEMPERATURE  helium_air_jet_floor_07.sf

   slice bounds:     0.00     1.50     0.00     1.50     0.25     0.25

 How many variables to read:

1

 Enter index for variable 1

7

 Integral of  TEMPERATURE =   4.5029E+01

 Enter output file name:

test_tmp_out.dat

  Writing to file...      test_tmp_out.dat

Thanks,

Vaibhav

Just use Smokeview to view the slice file. You cannot take a slice file meant to be viewed with Smokeview, export it to an ascii text file with fds2ascii, and re-import it into Smokeview.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I mean i want to visualize average Temperature at a plane, but smokeview seems to generate slices only of instantaneous temperature.

is there a way to  visualize average Temperature at a plane in smokeview ?

Read the Smokeview User's Manual; it discusses how to do this.

open up the slice tab of the data bounds dialog box then open up the Average data tab.  you can select the time interval over which to average your data
