Hello,

I would like to create multiple cut planes on a 3D geometry modeling fluid flow through a porous media using CFD-Post. So far all I have been able to do or find in support is how to create one, duplicate it, then change the location.

I would like to do hundreds of these, and doing it manually is not really an option.

Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mario Arias

Hello,

I did that by using a cse-file (session-file) and a loop. Just record while insert a plane (e.g xy-plane) and insert a loop in the recorded cse file:
! for ($z=0; $z<=1000; ($z+=50))
!{
record from cse-file, something like
insert xy-cut plane = $z
!}

Hope it helps

Hello there,

I am also trying to create multiple planes using for loop. I have this code for it however nothing happens when i use it in the session file. Any suggestions

!$nplane = 50;
!$zinlet = 3.5;
!$zoutlet = -1.5;
!$dz = (($zoutlet - $zinlet)/$nplane);
!$iplane = 2;

!for($iplane=1;$iplane<=nplane; $iplane=$iplane+1)
!{


PLANElane $iplane

I am also new to this software, I spent 1 hour and just found your mistake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahahaha!!! So excited!

In line 6, a '$' is missing in front of 'nplane'!!!!!!!!
