Export Plot Data (ASCII)

Post Processing: ExchangeImport/ExportExportPlot Data (ASCII)

This dialog box offers ASCII file export of current plot data. The file format depends on the currently active visualization option. The resolution of the data in the exported file corresponds to the resolution specified for the visualization or can be defined in the 2D/3D Plot Data Export dialog after pressing Save.

File format for 1D results

The ASCII file consists of one or more blocks depending on the number of curves in the plot. Each block has two or three columns depending on the plot. In the first line of each block, there is a headline with the column titles.

File format for 2D/3D results

The ASCII file will contain the following columns, where E/D/H/Bxxx are the field components and Phi is the potential at the coordinates x, y, z.
