<span style="font-family:SimSun">Hi!</span>
</p>
<p>
<span style="font-family:SimSun"> Usually, the output files of FLASH are the database of some variables like "dens", "temp", "pres". We can check it by importing the database to VISIT. However, what should I do if I want to put other </span><span style="font-family:SimSun">variables into the database of output files. For example, if I want to see the <strong>thermal conduction data</strong> in LaserSlab simulation during the entire process, what should I do?</span>
</p>
<p>
<span style="font-family:SimSun"> It seems that there is a plot options in flash.par just like</span>
</p>
<p>
<span style="font-family:SimSun">### Plot Options ###<br>
plotFileNumber = 0<br>
plotFileIntervalStep = 100<br>
plotFileIntervalTime = 0.01e-09<br>
plot_var_1 = "dens"<br>
plot_var_2 = "depo"<br>
plot_var_3 = "tele"<br>
plot_var_4 = "tion"<br>
plot_var_5 = "trad"<br>
plot_var_6 = "ye "<br>
plot_var_7 = "sumy"<br>
plot_var_8 = "cham"<br>
plot_var_9 = "targ"<br>
I set a new plot_var_10 = "cond".(conduction) But it seems that it does not work? What else should I do?<br>
</span>

<p>
<span style="font-family:SimSun"> Thank you very much!</span>
