Hi everyone,

I ran a 3-D simulation of a wing with winglet. What I would like to do is be able to define a plane aft of the wing and then be able to read the v and w velocity values in this plane? Is there a way to do this using ANSYS Fluent?
So far all I've been able to do is plot the velocity contour on a specified plane but I would like to extract this data somehow so that I have the exact v and w velocity values in order to perform calculations with them.

Thanks in advance!

you can do that with the xyplot and selecting the "write to file" option

Several ways.


You can also define the surface. Then go to file=>write solution data and choose the surface and variables you want to export. Pick your favorite file format: ascii, etc.
