How to create a plane on Fluent

    • Nishanth

      Hey, I need to create a plane which just covers my wing but I do not want the plane for the whole domain.


      I'm trying to plot an XY plot and if I plot on a plane it plots for the whole enclosure, but I want it only for the airfoil. How do I do this?


      On CFD post-processing, I used to create a polyline of the wing and plot it on the polyline but on fluent, I can't find polyline



      I want a plane/polyline only covering the area shown below and not like the above one.

      If it's 2d then plot on the wing edges. 


      If you need a line on the wing create an isosurface that cuts the wing and make sure the wing surface is selected when doing this. That'll give you the intersect of the two surfaces.

      Hey, thank you--creating a line and creating an isosurface between the wing and line worked.


      Can you please tell me if there is a way to invert the axis?

      Probably not, check in the axis settings in the xy-plot panel.  You can always export the data to Excel for further processing.
