Exporting CFD-Post Streamline Tube as 3d Mesh

Chochigum · March 21, 2022, 13:53

Hello dear CFD community,
I am a newbie to ansys cfx and currently doing my first simulations.

I have recently run a few simulations for a centrifugal pump. I would like to export the Streamline Tube Plot as a 3d Mesh so I can visualize it in another 3d software.

Is this possible? Any help would be appreceated.

You can export the points which make up the streamline object (which will just be a line). If you want the tube you would have to generate the tube from the linear points.
