How to draw velocity contours along the bend of U-pipe

mariam.sara · March 20, 2011, 08:25

Hi I want to draw the velocity contours in different sections along the bend of U-pipe may somebody guide me how I can do this? I was aware that I need to draw an iso-surfaces but the problem I have no idea how I can distribute the surfaces along the bend because the angle of bend vary in each section? any other idea will be appreciated?

Hi,
if you know unit normal to planes, use:
surface->quadric .... and the set unit normals.
