Export single domain scalar field to a text file

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi, I have a 2D model composed by some domains. A scalar (modulus of electric field) is defined on these domains. I want to export to a text file (csv for example) those scalars along with the position x,y of where they are evaluated, preferably the center or corners of the mesh elements. I should end up with 3 columns at least: x, y, ec.normE. But I want to do this ONLY on one domain. The Export->Data node doesn't allow me to select the domain. Maybe I could extract the domain data from the result dataset? but how?

Any idea?

Try this:

- Go to the data set that you want to export and create a duplicate of it.

- Add a selection to the duplicate data set.

- Use the duplicate data set in the data export node.
