The EnSight XY Query Data format (suffix .exy) is useful to save an xy query from EnSight. The data is saved into this format by right clicking on a query (or queries) and choosing to , as shown in Figure 10.8: Saving an EnSight XY File. Since this format does not support transient data, saving a transient query results in a file for each chosen query for each timestep. The file can contain one or more curves. The following is an example XY Data file:
Individual .exy files can be read in using the query dialog. Click on the Query icon.
In the resulting Create/Edit Query/plot dialog, choose Sample → and click on Using this methodology, you can load one, static dataset. There is currently no way to recreate the transient XY query by reading from the multiple static files.
