Statistics

Statistics controls when and how text-based simulation data (such as forces, concentrations, temperatures, velocities, and blending results) are written during a run, supporting both scheduled and ad hoc output for efficient post-processing.

Output Panel

General

Write Interval

s | Interval at which the statistics write will occur. This can be a system UDF.

Output Condition

Statistics can be output ad hoc at runtime. Use this expression to set the “output” variable to true at specific times.

Statistics Output Data

Data output refers to text-only data, including forces, torques, species concentrations, system temperatures, inlet/outlet velocities, blending results, etc.

In general, text data should be output every 20–100 timesteps to properly balance the computational cost associated with printing the data with the need for sufficient temporal resolution during post-processing.
