Probe options in CFX-Pre

Julian121 · May 12, 2019, 05:09

I have defined several probes in a rotor domain.

As the position update frequency, I have selected every timestep.

Domain name and frame type are unchecked.

Does this probe rotate with the rotor?

Is it in local or stationary frame?

Should I choose either domain name or frame type options?

Why not just try it and find out? Hasn't it taken longer to write this post and wait for an answer compared to just running it and figuring it out?

Does CFD-Post visualize the location of probe defined in CFX-Pre?

Probe function in CFD-Post allows to find the value at a new location not the one already defined.

I am not sure whether the probe I defined in rotor will rotate with rotor or it is in stationary or relative frame of refernce.

Probes are not carried through to CFD-Post. You could send a probe value to a CEL variable and then it would be carried through.
