How to creat a chart in CFD-post?

Hamda · February 22, 2019, 00:44

Hi,

I am supposed to show CFD results in charts (e.g. pressure vs axial direction(y), Temperature vs time ,.....). In fluent it is so easy but in CFX I can't do that. since I have to select a location and there is nothing to select.
Also, I defined an expression for heat source as a function of time but I can't draw a chart for it yet.

I'll really appreciate if someone help me on this issue.

Many thanks in advance.

1) In Post you can create a line based on 2 points, and plot the pressure as function of Y in a graph.
2) Regarding the heat source, you can create a CEL-function for the source as a function of time. This source can be monitored during the solving process (see output in CFX-Pre for the definition)
