I can use Save Data and then select Save Time Steps to get a bunch of CSV files with the field variables. That works fine. But when I look at SpreadSheetView there are other variables that do not end up in the Save Data export. Examples: Block Name, Point ID.

I can save the SpreadSheetView to a CSV, but I see no option to do it for all 2000 time steps.

Thanks!

You need to actually generate thoses values so they appears when you use the SaveData feature.

GenerateIDs filter should do the trick.
