Hi guys,
I am working fluent version 18.1 and trying to save contours in png format. However, I could not find how to adjust contour range automatically in text user interface. I activate global-values. I tried the following commands but they did not work.
disp/cont vm () ()
disp/cont vm ( ) ( )
disp/cont vm [] []
disp/cont vm [ ] [ ]
disp/cont vm <> <>
disp/cont vm < > < >

edit: I have already set auto-range by the code (disp/set/cont/ar y) but it is still asking the minimum and maximum ranges!..

(ti-menu-load-string (format #f "display contour vm \n \n"))

best regards

Thank you for your reply. I cannot run this code in text command window. What is "ti"? Fluent says it is invalid command... The main commands it shows are as the following:
adapt/ file/ solve/
adjoint/ mesh/ surface/
define/ parallel/ views/
display/ plot/
exit report/

Hi,

I am facing the same issue, and wondering if you have got a solution to set auto-ranged contour?

Best,

my solution is in a journal file file.jou after the command, for example pressure contours, leave two blank lines and then save as image:
display contour pressure


display save-picture name-picture-%i.jpg
or in console two enters after the command ¨display contour pressure¨

1st blank line or enter to minimum value
2nd blank line or enter to maximun value
(%i = number of iteration)
JPG format is by default
you have to change the picture format to .png to save in this format
file -> Save Picture -> PNG -> Apply
