constrained plane shape

jennap223 · August 17, 2015, 13:17

Hi, I'm trying to make a circular constrained plane in my domain for an injector. How do I go about specifying the coordinates or making a circular shape?

I understand how to use the normal and x,y,z position conditions that are initially asked, but it seems that the only way to create a constrained plane is by hand (clicking) which can be very inaccurate for a round jet...

Thanks

The only way to do this is to specify the points via a Java macro. Record yourself creating the points and then write a macro to generate them over a circle.
