Exporting Selected Field Data Objects to a CSV File

The File menu option Export data > Export selected field data objects to CSV writes preselected individual node and element field data objects and samples to a CSV file.

To control the export:

  • Choose the delimiter for separating field entries

  • Select the optiSLang compatible idents check box to generate strings on export with respect to naming conventions in optiSLang

  • Check additional check boxes to export field indices, such as the element and part number if multiple parts exist, and the Cartesian coordinates respectively.

To refine the selection to export:

  • Select the Export generated field data only check box if you want to export only field data generated within oSP3D. For example, you might want to export only generated mean and random field shape objects. Imported field data is omitted.

  • Select the Export result objects check box if you want to export only field data generated by oSP3D algorithms and displayed in the data table.

  • Select the Export sample objects check box if you want to export all imported field data except result objects.

  • Select the Export inactive objects check box if you want to add inactive designs to the exported field data object.

For information on syntax rules used in exports, see CSV Files, paying particular attention to Exporting Field Data Objects.
