Dear all

How to write sampleDict with that I can get the pressure distribution along the airfoil?
like this?

Best regards,
Ye

I'm having the same problem; mine is to plot over a circular cylinder.

reply #5 suggested a way. I tried it once but due to some certain reasons it failed. You can have a try. If you succeed, please teach me!

You can use "sampleDict" to extract pressure data on the surface, and plot using any tool like xmgrace, python.
