3D results 5 months 1 week ago #44952

Hello everyone, I am a new user of Telemac3D and I am trying to visualize the simulation results.
I am using the example simulation "t3d_waq3d_aed2.cas". When I use Blue Kenue to visualize the 2D and 3D results I can only visualize the results by points, not by layers. Is there any way to obtain the results by point in each layer of the result? Is it possible to obtain these results by layer at each point in a single table and export it in .csv format?

I mark the points in the 2D output file, and when I visualize the results as table, I can only see the results for the surface at the marked points.

Since you're a new user... have you read the Blue Kenue Reference Manual (see Help menu)? AND which version of Blue Kenue are you using? Maybe you've found a bug?

You've asked a lot of questions all at once. It would be easier for us to provide an answer if you ask one question at a time... from the beginning :silly:

Kindly... Alan

Hello, Alan.

Yes, I've read the manual. I'm using the lastest version available.

From the begning ;) : Is there a way to save the information from all layers in a single .csv file, or do I have to do it manually, selecting layer by layer?

As I understand your question, put simply, you want to be able to load a binary file (i.e. a selafin file *.slf) and then save the data out (or portions of the data) into a CSV file (*.csv).

First, when you load a *.slf file into the Blue Kenue WorkSpace then you will see a number of objects appear. Each of those objects may be one of the following (simplifying for you):
  • 2D Scalar
  • 3D Scalar
  • 2D Vector
  • 3D Vector

The easiest way to know what object you have is to double click it and look at the Properties... in particular, the MetaData tab. Where you'll find something like 2D T3 Mesh.

Now, if you select one of the objects in the WorkSpace you can then use the File menu to "Save a Copy..." of the object to disk.

In the dialog that pops up you will find (at the bottom) options specific to the type of the object that allow you to save the loaded object out to disk in various formats. Some objects allow you to save as ASCII files... so you will be able to get part way towards your goal by using File > Save Copy As...

Perhaps if you explain why you need to be able to to save all of the layers as one CSV file it may lead to new functionality for Blue Kenue. However, the existing functionality is usually sufficient for most people in my current opinion... please feel free to convince me otherwise!

Hey, Alan, thanks for your answer.

As I said, I'm new with Telemac. I'm gonna do some simulations in a reservoir and analyze the temperature distribution along the water collumn.
I was running the examples and trying to visualize the results. In Blue Kenue I only find the option to save one layer per time, instead of saving all layers in one .csv or other type of file (like in Delft3D, as example).
For me it is interesting to see the results in a single file because I can view the simulation results more efficiently, instead of saving each layer and then gathering the results from each layer. I will be calibrating some model parameters, so seeing the temperature variation across all layers with the change in parameter values in a single file would save my time. But if saving the file by layer it's sufficient for most people, that's fine :)

Thanks!

You're very welcome!

Asking questions when we are new is a great way to learn B) And we are all beginners at different things at different times in our lives...
... because I can view the simulation results more efficiently...

I'm not entirely clear what it is that you can do efficiently with a CSV file. Are you looking at the CSV file in MS Excel? Or using some other tool or script to help you be more efficient? What is it that you are trying to view exactly? Perhaps Blue Kenue can already do what you need to do? Hard to know...

Hi
According to what I read, I understand that the interest is in vertical temperature profile...
And this is already implemented in BK...

You are right Christophe.
I had implemented that as a item on the 3D object context menu called "Extract Vertical Profile..."
It seems however to have disappeared from recent versions.
Alan???

Hello Alan, Christophe, and Serrer,

Alan: Regarding the .csv file... I can work with it efficiently in terms of viewing the results of the vertical profile in a single file. Sometimes I work with Excel, but most of the time I use R. I would have to create a script to merge the results of all the layers into a single file, instead of already getting the complete file and making the analysis easier.

Christophe: Exactly! My interest is in the vertical temperature profile (and other variables from AED2). I haven't found this functionality to extract all the information from the vertical profile into a single file.
