From one hand, only midplane and Dual Domain, can export output files (you may find the setting on my first reply). From the other hand, we can force the 3D solver to write intermediate results to get a better insight of the evolution one parameter during the simulation. This option, will generate a single output file that will embrace more solutions at predefined time-steps. In any case this option/setting will write temporary output files. This is working on the same way in Linux and Windows OS.
