Translate Polyline in CFD-Post Problem

Aerospace_Texan · August 31, 2017, 18:43

Need some help to finish up my project. I want to translate a polyline up in Ansys CFD-Post from the bottom curve surface of a internal contraction geometry to get velocity data inside a boundary layer when I use a no-slip at the wall condition.

Now the polyline feature has some View tab Options where you can apply rotation, translation, scale, and reflection. When I add a y-distance the polyline will show translated up, but the values from the polyline data are still at the default conditions (so zero in my case). Is there something I am missing to activate this translation feature!? Or has this been fixed in newer ANSYS versions (using V15)? Don't have time to learn another better Post processing software like TechPlot to do this.

Edit: Actually if anyone can see if it works in the newer ANSYS and could reply then that would be helpful too.

Can anyone test to see if translating a polyline gives different results with the view bottom left view tab? I'm wondering if this is a problem with all ANSYS versions.
