Hi! Please can you help me? How to change on Fluent, the coordinate system from the Cartesian to cylindrical one. for a '3D' problem. Thanks nabil

There is no such an option in Fluent, for 3D you could use only the Cartesian coordinates

.

If your problem is symmetrical about one of the axes, you could use in Fluent 2d the Axisymmetrical option in Define->Models->Solver.

Hi, I have been using the version of ansys 12.1, and the coordinate system appears with these component (v, w, x) , I have not found the form to change it a (x, y, z), since I can do it?
