Hello everybody.

I am performing Surface flow integrations over the skin of an aircraft and I would like to see how the integration depends on the X coordinate with integrations from the nose of the aircraft to some X moving plane.

I am using the Surface Flow filter over a Clip object, and I have animated the X coordinate of the origin of the cutting plane in the Clip object. Using a spreadsheet view, I can see the value of the Surface Flow object changing with the X coordinate, but I don't know how to save the data of the Surface Flow object for all animations steps into a single csv file. I don't want to save the animated pictures, just the animated data into a single csv file for further computations with OpenOffice Calc.

I first tried to select the Surface Flow object then File->Save data, but even when I check the "Write all time steps" box of the "Configure Writer" dialog box that comes after the dialog box for the name of the file, all I can get in the csv file is the value for the last animation step.

Then I tried to select the SpreadSheet view and File->export into a csv file, but this gives the same result.

I believe that the Writer is expecting Time series, by my data (the aircraft skin) are not, and animations steps don't seem to be understood as Time steps. Of course, I can save data step by step, each step in a csv file, but does anyone know a trick to save data for all steps into a single csv file.

Best regards.
