Greetings all

I have been simulating a wind turbine using MRF. Everything is almost good but I want to extract some data on spanwise and radial directions to assess a plot like the one attached. Do I have to add some sections on the geometry? If so how do I do it without the need to rerun my simulation? Do I need to use a line integral or something to extract some data on a section/point of the blade? In COMSOL this is a relatively easy task. Any ideas how to do it in STAR CCM?

Regards

Just make a plane section on the geometry at the position you like and either plot the data in an XY plot or extract it as an internal table and plot it elsewhere.
