Save contour plots at each time step

hi guys,

is there a possibilty in CFX like in FLUENT to save contour plots at each time step?

In CFX you can save a plane of data each time step, and then do contour plots of that in the post processor.

Thank you for your answer Glenn. Where can I do this, I can't find the option?

In the output tab you can set transient results files, so you can set the output frequency there. I think you can use a plane as a location for it too, but I have not used the option so cannot be sure. The documentation will describe how it is done.
