Hello all,

I am running a simulation of a 2-D airfoil that is oscillating in the pitch axis, and I would like to be able to plot the angle of attack of the airfoil vs time (or even just show the angle of attack) in paraview next to the domain, where I show a surface plot of the pressures or velocities. Does anyone have an idea of how I can do this? I also do not know of a way to output the angle of attack - perhaps this could be calculated from the ux uy components in paraview and then plotted? I have worked out the angle of attack manually, but that does not help me much for paraview.

Thanks for any advice,

Dan
