Thanks Toby, we are now seeing the X & Y velocity data for the FacePoints.

We would also like to show some data for the Water Surface elevation, which appears to be provided for the Cells output rather than being correlated to the FacePoints. For example, in our model the water surface results have 91485 columns (which matches the rows in Geometry Cells Minimum Elevation) and the node velocities have 91084 columns (which matches the rows in FacePoints Coordinates).

Any idea of how to combine these into one master table? What might the extra 400 data fields be for?

Also, is there any output available for flow angle? We could also calculate per the velocity vectors if necessary.

Kind Regards, -Tom G

Hello Toby,

Thank you very much for the response. We have downloaded the HDFView 2.14 to take a look at the data. This program is pretty neat.

We are not seeing the Node X Vel and Node Y Vel options, but only the following:
Results/Unsteady/Output/Output Blocks/Base Output/Unsteady Time Series/2D Flow Areas/”your mesh”/Face Velocity

How do we get the Node X Vel and Node Y Vel options to appear? Can this be obtained from the Face Velocity output?

We have successfully obtained the FacePoints Coordinate data which appears to properly show the coordinates of the mesh points.

We would also be interested in any way of generating this data without a 3rd party software if at all possible to avoid any human error in processing the data. We are not familiar with the process to turn this data into a shapefile, but if we can get into a tabular format, it may suffice for our purposes. It would be very nice if the program could be used to store/save to disk a velocity output map layer as a point feature.

Kind Regards, -Tom G
