Cylindrical coordinates in Post for a tilted cone

Hello everyone,
I am investigating the circumfential velocity in front of a turbomachine. I want to initialize the cylindrical coordinates for all parts in CFD Post. As long as the parts are symmetric in the axis I use the turbo mode. But I have a tilted cone which has no "hub" or "shroud", only a rotating axis which isnt consistent (see the picture). Thats why the two point axis wouldn`t be accurate. I havent found anything towards this topic yet. Is it possible to write some kind of script to change the coordinates in post? Plan B would be for me to insert planes in post along the Z axis and extract the velocities and calculate them into polarcoordinates to get the circumfential velocities atleast at some areas. Has anyone else had experience with that or ideas where I can read about that topic? I would be grateful for answers. Like always... thanks in advance Anny |
