[OpenFOAM] View the pressure drop contour in a cut plane 2D in a right position

zhoubinwx · February 13, 2008, 04:57

Hello, now I want to view my pressure drop contour after I make a cut plane, but when I rotate it using left mouse, then it is difficult for me to view it in the first position ( for example, from the normal direction of this cut plane).
Thank you.

Hi zhoubin,
In the View menu, there is an item called 3D View Properties which contains a tab called Camera. There you can set the view as you like.

And you are aware of the buttons on the top right that help you to set the center of rotation?

Hi, dear Dragos Moroianu and Bernhard Gschaider, I have practiced the Camera, and it works very well, so thank you, Dragos Moroianu. And the way to set rotation center surprised me a lot, so thank you, Bernhard Gschaider.

Well, I am a student in Politecnico di Torino, if you need any help, I am glad to do contribution.

Best regards,
Zhou Bin
