Hi,
I am having trouble exporting table using the ON modifier (although the manual says its possible).
I write this line within the PLOTS section:

TABLE(var1,var2) on "Boundryname" file="Uvars.tbl"

But it return this error message:

Unknown name "Boundryname"

"Boundryname" is a defined boundary using feature tool. I used "Boundryname" to export elevation data of same variables, and that works fine. But it is not recognized with table expoert.

Why is that? What is the alternative?

I want to use the data ie, var1, var2, in the file Uvars.tbl to compute some new values which will replace var1, var2 in the table. The new table is then to be imported back into FlexPDE with the new data to be used subsequently in the solution...
I want to use same coordinate data created by flexpde in order to avoid any mismatches when i do import the table. the only changes are applied to the data values. I cannot export the table, so I have not yet tried the import.

I wonder if the same error occurs during import?


Thank you for your help...

Dear Group,
In relation to my questios, I want to note that the reason I need to use table export/import is to use variables extracted from different boundaries in the model to compute some new variable that depends on both boundaries. I tried to do this within FlexPDE but it did not work. Obviously we cannot (plz correct me if I am wrong) use variable values on different bundaries in one single expression. For instance I used upulse to extract field variable1 from Boundary1 and variable2 from Boundary2. Then wanted to compute variable3=(variable1-variable2). However, the result is wrong when you do this in FlexPDE. Hence the need for table export/import.

Sorry for the long explaination...

TABLE export currently knows how to export full domains only. Sorry.

You can use an ELEVATION plot on a boundary with the EXPORT modifier to get a table of data on the boundary. You may then want to override the table coordinate on input by using the form:
thing = TABLE('file',coord)
