Animaton of a chart plot in CFD-Post

beyonder1 · August 28, 2015, 02:41

Hi,
I am running a transient simulation on a cascade. I have plotted a chart with chord as X-axis and Pressure Coefficient as y-axis. Now, i want to animate it for different timesteps. I dont know if we can do that but when i tried, animation just showed the 3D viewer part. Please suggest some way to do this in CFD-Post.

With a session file you can generate a graph for one time step, export it as a image file and move to the next time step and repeat.

The best way to start with session files is to record one and have look at the syntax it generates.

I am not able to understand the session file importance. I generated a chart at one timestep and recorded it as session file and then changed to different timesteps. The chart was changing as per the timestep but in the recorded file it was showing the things from 3D viewer but my chart is operating in chart viewer. Is there anyway to record 'chart viewer' tab instead of '3D viewer'.
