Unwrap cylinder into a 2D plane

Delcraft · April 8, 2016, 11:29

Hello,

I need to show a contour of a value over the cylinder surface in a 2D plane representation (see the image below). I have found that there is an option in EnSight which perform the unwrapping of revolution surface to 2D tools but I cannot understand how to use it. Can someone help me and show an example of such operation?
