Hello all,


I have a single inlet/outlet simulation where I would like to monitor the pressure in cross-sections along the length of the tube. In fluent, I would like to build a series of monitor planes like this:





However. If I define with a point and normal, the plane crosses the domain like this:





I want cross-sections. So I tried the bounded 3-point plane method, but that often fails, or results in a partial cross-section like this:





Doing this manually for 50+ slices is not feasible, and I have lots of meshes to do this on. Is there a better way of monitoring pressure along cross sections of a pipe? Can I just use points instead or will this give inaccurate results?


Thank you.

did you find a way to do that ?
I am trying to do the same, and especially the finite plane part, since planes are infinite by default in ansys fluent, so they intersect many tubes along the way, sot only single tube.

Try using EnSight and the clip plane along a spline curve.
