CSV

Output for postprocessors, vector postprocessors, and scalar variables using comma seperated values (CSV).

Overview

The CSV output object creates files containing comma separated values. Unless disabled (see Outputs) all postprocessors and scalar variables will be written to a single file that includes a time column.

If vector postprocessors exist within the simulation, an additional set of files will be created — one each for every vector that exists within a VectorPostprocessor object for each timestep.
