Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you had some tips about how to produce good quality figures and images from Star-ccm+? At the moment I'm having some trouble outputting images of a 2D simulation. The lines for the outline of the shape are jaggedy/pixelly, and don't really look good enough. Changing the line width, image format and resolution don't seem to help matters; if anything, the lower resolution images actually look better. Any ideas?
I'm also getting quite a lot of aliasing in my images when I have streamlines with velocity contours. An example of this is seen in the image attached. I really need sharper, smoother, smarter images than this because they're for my thesis. Do I need to use Paraview or tecPlot instead?
I'd really like to hear your views on this and any suggested settings would be very helpful!

Thanks!
Nick
