+The default value of `OUTPUT_FILES` is `(RESTART, PARAVIEW, SURFACE_PARAVIEW)`. The output frequencies can be set by using the `OUTPUT_WRT_FREQ` option. OUTPUT_WRT_FREQ accepts a list of integer values for each of the file types in `OUTPUT_FILES`. If a single value is given, this value will be used as the writing frequency for all output files.

 ### Setting Output Fields ###
 
 The `VOLUME_OUTPUT` option can be used to set fields for the restart and visualization files. Here you have the option to specify either single fields and/or groups.
 
+| Option value | Default value | Description | Data type |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| VOLUME_OUTPUT| COORDINATES,SOLUTION,PRIMITIVE| fields or groups that will be saved to file| list of keywords|
+
+
 ### Example ###
 
+Groups and fields can be combined, e.g.:
+
+`VOLUME_OUTPUT= SOLUTION, PRESSURE, DENSITY `
+
+will save all field that are in the `SOLUTION` group. Pressure is in the `PRIMITIVE` group for the compressible solver and in the `SOLUTION` group for the incompressible solver. Density on the other hand is in the `SOLUTION` group for the compressible solver and in the `PRIMITIVE` group for the incompressible solver. They can be added individually as in the example above, or by simply adding the entire `PRIMITIVE` group to the list if file size is no issue. Note that keywords that are not valid for the current setup will simply be ignored.

 For the compressible Navier-Stokes solver (i.e. `SOLVER=NAVIER_STOKES`), a **non-exhaustive list** of possible fields/groups is the following:

 ### Add SU2 environment variables
 This is done through the Environment Variables control panel.  You can access these by typing "environ" in the search/run box of the start menu.  Start a New System variable.  Assign the Variable Name `SU2_RUN`, and assign the Variable Value to be the path to your SU2 Executables (the folder that contains `SU2_CFD.exe` for example). This variable will allow you to quickly navigate to the SU2 directory using `cd %SU2_RUN%`, and run the executables using `%SU2_RUN%\<executable>`.
