      For a 3D Case 1. Click Display-> Contour-> Turbulance-> Y Plus of the surface of interest. 2. Turn off Node Value display. 3. You can now check if the minimum and maximum Y+ forms an appropriate range For a 2D Case 1.Click Display-> Contour-> Turbulence-> Y Plus. You do not need to select any Surfaces 2.Turn off Node Value display 3.You can now check the value of Y+ (note to ignore the value of Y+ except for cells adjacent to the wall). In a fine mesh, a recommended value of 1 for Y+ in a fine mesh, and 30 to 500 for a wall function.
