How to save xy_plot as a file in the working directory

[bhn-cell]

this is a part of the code i have

solver.settings.results.plot.xy_plot["Cp_plot"] = {
    "surfaces_list": ["airfoil"],
    "y_axis_function": "pressure-coefficient",
    'axes': {'numbers': {'x_format': 'general',
    'x_axis_precision': 3,
    'y_format': 'float',
    'y_axis_precision': 2}},
}

i want to write the .xy file of the pressure distribution of the airfoil in the working directory i used the below command:

solver.settings.results.plot.xy_plot["Cp_plot"].write_to_file()

but it didnt save anything
also is there any way to have xyplot object to become a python float?

[prmukherj]

solver.settings.results.plot.xy_plot["Cp_plot"].write_to_file(file_name=).

For example:

solver.settings.results.plot.xy_plot["Cp_plot"].write_to_file(file_name="sample.txt")
or
solver.settings.results.plot.xy_plot["Cp_plot"].write_to_file(file_name="sample")

For getting this data as python float you need to parse the output file.

It doesnt work i already tried that the code doesnt give any errors but also it doesnt create any file

I cannot reproduce your issue actually. Did you explicitly give the keyword argument "file_name"?

[bhn-cell]

Yes
Does it work on your own device?

[prmukherj]

yup. I'll let someone else confirm as well. @hpohekar, could you please try it out once.
Thank you.

@bhn-cell

It's working fine.

This is what i get :

Thanks @hpohekar for confirming the behaviour.
@bhn-cell, since we are not able to reproduce your issue locally, could you please create a bug for the same issue particularly specifying the Fluent and the PyFluent versions that you are using as it will help us better investigate your issue.
