Transient Post

I must be doing something wrong. How do I view more than the final time step in a transient case in CFX Post?

Do I need to modify the save setting of the solver, or is it something easily done in CFX Post?

Sorry... I'm still a little new at this.

Yes you need to change the save setting in the solver. CFX Pre should give you a warning that there's no Transient Results.

You need to set the output frequency of the transient results in the Output Control in CFX Pre

Dear Dre,

in my transient simulation, the output created many *.trn according to my output frequency. i would like to plot the temperature at a certain point from all these *.trn files. where in the CFX help can i get some idea how to start plotting graphs please?

If you already have the files, then use a point in Post, and plot whatever variable you want in a chart.

Hint:
In Pre you can set up monitor points to get values during the calculation.
