      Dear Team Ansys,


       


      I wish you all a Happy Happy New year . 


       


      I Would like to know how to obtain plot for pressure contour . I have selected a plane and exported the data in CSV format ,but still the data is not in proper order and results could not be analysed.


      Any video would be of great help.


       


      Thanks and Regards

      Hi Raghav,


       


      Thank you for the greetings, please  find  the attacment . Unable  to plot the graph  



       


      This is how I obtained the result , plotting is the critical part.

      Hi raghav,


       


      sorry for late reply .


       


      Please let me know if it is possible to make points on the surface of the body and export data .


       


       


      Regards ,

      With the csv file that you had attached, I was able to get the following contour plots using plotting tool Origin. You can use Matlab to do it as well.

      Dear Raghav,


      Thank you for the reply. I would like to have the pressure distribution on the plate (surface) ,please let me know if it is posssible in Ansys AIm .


       


      Thank you

      Shravan, do you mean you want the pressure distribution on the airfoil surface?

      Hi raghav,


      Yes on the surface of the geometry.

      You can select the faces adjacent to the airfoil geometry to show the pressure contour on the airfoil surface. Please refer to the following:

       Dear Raghav,


       


      Thank you very much. But I require at the centre plane the pressure distribution along the surface of the geometry.

      Can you explain what your end goal is? Are you trying to plot the pressure coefficient?

      Yes exactly the Cp coefficinet of pressure is what I am looking for.
