Get information about phase of every cell

schemer · August 19, 2011, 06:12

Hey,

I use a 2D transient VOF model with air and water. My problem is that I want to print the position of the water and its shape. This analysis should be done with autosaved data at defined timesteps after the simulation has finished. I already managed to get informations at a surface by doing a simple xy-plot, but I couldn't manage to get info about cells that are i.e. in 20mm distance to a surface.
I hope my problem is understandable

Thanks for any help!

OK, I solved the problem now. I found Surface -> Transform where you can create surfaces by translating an existing surface. Thanks anyway to everyone who thought about a solution!
