I feel like this should be simple, but i am having trouble finding a way to display a contour plot in Fluent at specified intervals of a calculation, say every 50 time-steps. I am performing a transient density based simulation of a pressure vessel and i would like to see a contour plot of velocity magnitude every 50 time-steps to see how the simulation is progressing. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I believe the “execute commands” under calculation activities will do what i want, but i am not familiar enough with the TUI commands to write it. I have already set up a contour plot under the Results>Graphics>Contours GUI, but i am not sure how to show it during the simulation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In other words, is there a command to display a contour by the contour’s name in the GUI?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Capture\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Any advice or tips would be much appreciated!
