This command writes a portion of a particle set to a new a particle file. This portion may be a subset of the time steps for the particle solution, a subset of the particles, or both. To get to this command, right-click on a particle set and choose Extract subset (times/particles).

The required information for this command includes:

  • The file name to write the particle subset to.
  • The first and last time steps that define the range of time the user wants export.
  • Whether to write every time step, every other time step, every third time step, etc.

It is possible to define a subset of the particles to export by setting up filters (see PTM Particle Filters). For example, deciding to only write particles with a specific range of grain size, or particles from a specific source.

The extracted particle set will have the same datasets that exist in the original particle set.
