Hello,

I opened a fluent file, by opening Fluent itself (not workbench), file - read - case&data to see results in a specific time "in a transient flow". I made some changes, for example; I created a new line from "surfaces" and showed my results on it. I want to save this surface to see it whenever I open the case file, but I don't know from where. now, if I forget something and want to do it, I recreate the surface again when reopening the case file.

Does anyone know how I can save changes in the case file?

If you look in Results (ribbon) > Surfaces you should see it in the Manage part. Or open Mesh and it'll show there.

There is nothing on it.

When I am going to close the window it shows that the changes are not saved, and there is no option to save it. 

For example, I created these two lines ( under the surface tab on the left side), if I close the case now, these two lines will not be saved, and when I reopen the case I have to recreate them.

That looks like a WB file structure. WB retains a workflow so depending on whether you opened Setup or Solve it may behave slightly differently. Opening the wrong one can also result in your losing your results. 

In the session, go File>Write case & data, or File>Export Case & Data. Then open the files in Fluent using the Start Menu to launch it.
