Hello,

I simulated flow through a circular half pipe using Fluent. I defined a symmetry plane in order to save computation time. When I exported the simulation results and load the exported files into Tecplot all of the velocities within the plane are reported as zero which is incorrect. I understand that the velocity components normal to the symmetry plane should be zero but the velocity within the plane should not be zero.

Has anyone encountered this problem or have any idea why the velocities are zero??

My graduate student position depends on the answer to this question .I maybe kicked out if I don't solve this soon.
