Creating Line along surface of aerofoil

username1 · March 20, 2018, 11:20

Hi there,

I am simulating the 3D flow around an aerofoil in ANSYS Fluent, I have managed to set up my mesh and get it running and all is relatively well!

I now need to create a line along the surface of the aerofoil a set distance away from a wall it is mounted on to find the coefficient of pressure values along said lines, I can't seem to find a way to do this within Fluent though?

Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!

I've managed to solve this!

For anybody else who stumbles upon this with a similar problem,

Create an Iso-Surface,
I am looking for a line that lies in the XY plane, so set the plane to be of constant z value,
select the planes you wish the line to lie upon (i.e. aerofoil upper)

and create!
