Transient wall shear not available in CFD Post
I took care to include Wall Shear as an extra variable to keep in Trn results, but when I tried to plot a contour at the transient time steps, nothing shows up (i.e. the wall is simply transparent). The same when I tried just the X,Y, or Z components. However, the contour does show when I choose the final time step. What is going on here? Thanks.

A clue
I hope this is a clue as to why the Wall Shear is not available in my transient results, although it hasn't helped me. I set a monitor point for various variables in a transient run and the Wall Shear ones are excluded. I suspect the Wall Shear requires a somewhat different treatment than do most variables because it exists only on the wall, but how? I have verified that my specified location is indeed on the wall.
Code:
Monitor Point: WSS |
Hi,
I have the same problem. Do you know how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance. Regards, Mehrdad |
Sometimes its a bit tricky. I had a similar case once, where a derived variable didn't show, because another variabel was missing. You need the velocity gradient to calculate wall shear, so I suppose including it in trn files will enable Post to calculate wall shear.
Haven't used CFX in a while, so not sure if it can be included from the variable list. |
Woud you mind showing the output control setup for the transient file you requested?
