  Dear:
  
  I am facing a problem to export the coordinates of nodes with zone ID to text or excel. I got some videos showing how to export the coordinates of nodes, but I also want to know which zone the coordinates of nodes belong to.
  
  Is there any way I can do it?
  
  Thanks!

  It'll help if you tell us which solver you're using: it'll be different in each one.

  Hi, thanks for the reply, I am using the pressure-based solver to simulate.

  In Fluent? If so have a look in the Export options. If you want the zone ID you may need to export one region (zone) at a time.

  Hi, I was trying to do what you said, seems like I got what I want with just a question, why the coordinates repeated?
  
  Thanks!

  What fields did you select for export? Some of the formats give x, y, & z co ordinates automatically.

  Sorry for this late reply. I had selected x,y,z coordinates, and cell zone index.

  I suspect Fluent exports the coordinates automatically for that file type. As you selected the coordinates as well it's given you the data twice.
