How to create a section for visualization in Fluent

      Hi everyone!

      I have a cylindric volume cooled down under zero degrees and I want to see what is happening inside the volume over time.
      How can I look inside the volume/create a section?
      Maybe it is a simple question but I am an ANSYS beginner, I'm sorry.


      Thank you!
      Andrea

      Create an iso surface of mesh (Post processing tab) for a value that's down the middle of the domain. Display contours, vectors or whatever on that surface.


      If you read through some of the examples/tutorials attached to the R19 documentation they'll give you more details.

      Thank you! I have now made a plane and selected plane 1 for contour 1 but still can't see anything.
      Where can I find those tutorials?

      Thank you very much!
      It seems to be a bug at my computer. Yesterday I switched the wall off and nothing changed. Today I switched the wall off and now I can see the solutions. Strange.

      It's possible you added the wall into the contour plot, it's easily done when learning.
