How to display solid volume in fluent 6

February 7, 2003, 17:08

I am solving a airfoil prolbem. I was wondering how to display solid volume when we display the contour of presure or velocity.

thanks!

When you meshed your model, I believe you meshed the fluid portion, and not the airfoil itself.

If so, and if you are using Gambit, you can define the surfaces (3D)/edges (2D) bounding the airfoil as walls in the ZONE option. OR you can define the volume (3D)/surfaces (2D) as a SOLID material in Gambit.
