Plot

Export plots to files.

Syntax

model.result().export().create(<ftag>,"Plot");

model.result().export().create(<ftag>,<pgtag>,<plottag>, "Plot");

model.result().export(<ftag>).set(property, <value>);

model.result().export(<ftag>).run();

Description

model.result().export().create(<ftag>,"Plot") creates a plot export feature with the name <ftag>.

model.result().export().create(<ftag>,<pgtag>,<plottag>, "Plot") creates a plot export feature with the name <ftag> for the plot <plottag> in the plot group <pgtag>.

To export a 3D surface from a plot to an STL file, use stl as filename extension.

The following properties are available:

Table 7-67: Valid Property/Value Pairs for Plot Exports

Property	Value	Default	Description
alwaysask	on | off	off	Always ask for filename when saving. This property is ignored when running without a GUI.
ifexists	append | overwrite	overwrite	If the file exists, append to or overwrite the file contents.
plotgroup	String		The name of the plot group containing the plot to export
plot	String		The name of the plot (in plotgroup) to export
compact	Boolean	false	Only applicable for streamline and particle tracing plots. If true, the exported data contains one line per streamline or particle rather than one line per point on a streamline or particle trajectory.
filename	String		The output file
fullprec	on | off	on	If on, floating-point numbers are written in full precision, otherwise they are written with six significant digits.
header	on | off	off	Enable/disable a data header in the output file.
repeat	on | off	off	Enable/disable repeated playing of the animation.
sort	on | off	off	Enable/disable sorting of the points with respect to the coordinates.
struct	sectionwise | spreadsheet	spreadsheet	Format of the exported data
stlformat	binary | text	binary	Format of the STL file
