How to plot streamline for 2D case?

November 13, 2006, 13:46

I am using Fluent 6.2 for a simple 2D case. I'd like to plot the streamline. But Fluent can only provides the colored mesh, and the colour represents the value of stream funtion. I remember Fluent can provide the contour of streamline, which can easily determine the location of vortex. But I don't know why I can not obtain the contour now, instead, the only thing I can get is a cloured mesh. Any advices are greatly appreciated.

Don't select anything in the "surfaces" section of the contour menu.

Good luck, Jason

Yeah! Got it!

Thanks, man!
