Rendering surfaces

July 11, 2007, 03:58

I think this is a simple question.

I made my first ever 3D model and imported it to Fluent to solve. Problem was that after iterating to a solution, I could not access contour plots because, it read

"no rendering surfaces have been set"

What do i need to do?????

In the Display --> Contours window, you need to select the surface(s) you want the contours rendered on. You simply forgot to make a selection here, so FLUENT did not know what to render and sidplay. Simple mistake...I've done it often!
