There are differences in FriComp between ALE method and S-ALE method

      I have two similar calculation cases with only geometric differences. When viewing their pressure cloud maps, I opened the "Post Line Contour Mode" Fig.2 and used the ALE method. Three line contours appeared in the graph, all of which are three-dimensional spatial curves, which is consistent with the actual situation. Fig.1 uses the S-ALE method, which only shows a two-dimensional line contour on two symmetrical planes. This is not consistent with the actual situation. How should I set it to display the correct line contour when using the S-ALE method?

      Hello,

      Could you please define the physics of what you are modeling first?

      I cannot understand what I am looking at, what your ALE meshes look like, what the materials are (pink=?), are there Lagrangian parts involved (FSI? or fluid-structure interactions?) ...

      If you show a (P, ...) plot, please indicate the time plotted.

      Once that is defined clearly, I may be able to assist.

      Regards,

      Ian Do
