Creating 3D Volume Cut Section and Displaying Contours — Lesson 1

How do you create 3D volume cut sections and display the contours in Fluent software?

Step 1: Cutting the 3D volume
Surface > Create > Select the zone that needs to cut under the “Zone” option. You can select multiple zones as well.

Step 2. Iso-clip the zone for the cut section
Go to Surface > Create > Iso-clip > Specify the name of the surface under “New Surface Name.” Select the variable to clip.

Step 3. Displaying contours/vectors on clipped surface
Go to Contours > Temperature > Static Temperature > Select the clip surface (which you created in the previous step)

Step 4. Similar plot for Fluid + Solid Zone (a zone clipped with z-coordinate)
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for fluid and solid zones together and display the static temperature.
