An approach for calculating flow angle for models that are not initialized in TurboPost.

      Calculate velocities without initializing TurboPost by specifying the rotational axis through “Modify Global Rotation Axis” and then selecting “Calculate Velocity Components”. This will generate the cylindrical velocity compnents in both relative and stationary frame, but not the flow angles. These can be generated using the expression: beta=atan2(Velocity Meridional,Velocity Circumferential) which calculates relative flow angle based on tangential direction. A user variable, Beta, can then be calculated from the expression beta.
