saving plane surfaces created in postprocessing

gerritb · October 11, 2017, 04:03

Hello everyone!

To evaluate the temperature distribution in an air volume after solving the simulation, I created several 'plane surfaces' (using these GUI commands: postprocessing>surface>create>plane...).

After saving my project and reopening, these plane surfaces don't exist anymore. Is there a special way to save these? I don't want to create them again every time I reopen my project.

Thanks!

P.S.: I searched the FLUENT forum a post regarding this problem, but was not able to find anything related. Maybe the solution is too obvious...?

Hello,

If you saved case file, there should be no problems, all settings and data inside is saved. Try to create any plane and save case file, then reopen -> check created plane

Best regards

Ok, it works as you said. Maybe I messed something up when I tried it earlier...

Thank you!
