Hi, I can't seem to generate a contour plot like this in the 'solutions' tab within Fluent. Is there maybe a setting or something that makes it look like that with the lines running through the shockwave?

When I generate a contour of velocity like this, it is just one colour?

thanks in advance!

Reduce the number of colour bands and set colouring to banded.

Hi rob, how do you reduce the number of colour bands please?

[Rob]

Also, check the scale.

Colourmap Options. Default number of bands in the newer version is 100, in the older builds it's 20. Both have benefits, but I tend to prefer 20 as I can see it.
