      In Fluent, the TUI command required to display the grid along with the vector and contour display is:
      /display/set/render-mesh yes
      Example: Command to display wall1 and wall2 along with velocity contour at z = 1:
      /display/set-window 1
      to open Window1
      /display/ set/mesh-surfaces wall1 wall2 ()
      to display mesh outline of wall1 and wall2
      /display/set/contours surfaces z=1 ()
      to select the surface where you want to display the contour(z = 1)
      /display/set/render-mesh yes
      to display mesh
      /display/contour/velocity-magnitude 0 1
      to display the velocity contours (range 0-1) on the surface (z = 1)
