Output

ExodusII

ExodusII is a binary file format for storing finite element data models.

Almost any computed value can be stored in an ExodusII file:

• field variables,

• material properties,

• postprocessors,

• vector postprocessors.

ExodusII files can be visualized in paraview, VisIt, and others.

To enable ExodusII output, include the following block in your input file:

[Outputs]
  exodus = true
[]

Comma Separated Values

This is a text file format that uses commas to separate values (hence the name).

The postprocessor and vector postprocessor values computed by the application can be stored in this format.

CSV files are suitable for further processing in visualization tools like matplotlib, gnuplot, or Microsoft Excel.

To enable CSV output, include the following block in your input file:

[Outputs]
  csv = true
[]
