I want to be able to extract data from a curve on the airfoil that is essentially the intersection between an arbitrary plane and the airfoil body, not just a typical XY XZ or YZ directions.<\/p>\n<p>I have the plane created in spaceclaim where the airfoil model is located and I split the airfoil body with the plane to create the curve. The first question is: Can I export points along this curve into a file that I can then import into Fluent?<\/p>\n<p>The second question is: If I can create a file with the curve, how would I then use it in Fluent so I can extract data on the curve? I see I can only make a line object and I don&#8217;t see anything about being able to create a curve in the surfaces tab.<\/p>\n<p>I think I could do something like this in CFD post but am not very well versed in that software so i would much rather just use Fluent&#8217;s post-processing capabilities if it&#8217;s possible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-366344","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-cfd-1","topic-tag-ansys-cfd-post-1","topic-tag-curve","topic-tag-fluent"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["59720","199"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.216.133.155"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["964"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["366344"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","59720"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["366612"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["366612"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-05-13 13:20:23"]},"test":"gregory-harringtonkratosdefense-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/366344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/366344\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=366344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
