Points

ATOTA · May 17, 2010, 13:33

Hello Everyone.
I'm a new member here and I'm new to CFDs as well.

I'm actually trying to simulate an inclinded cylinder under steady wind flow. I want to monitor specific points around the cylinder but I don't know how to define the points. Should I do them in Gambit or Fluent or what would you suggest ?

I try to make points in AutoCAD and import them but the points don't show. Can someone please enlighten me ?

Open your Fluent, follow to tab 'Surface/Points...', in here specify your points to monitor.
Good luck for you!
