Hey,

I am simulating a wind tunnel test from a car and would like to use the streamLine function to get an idea of the streamlines over the car.

In the OpenFOAM tutorials I can only find examples where the type "uniform" is used. I would like to use the type plane but dont know how to specify the geometry of it. Can anyone help me with this?

An example of how I would want the function to look:

Code:
streamLines1
{
    libs            ("libfieldFunctionObjects.so");
    type            streamLine;

    writeControl    writeTime;

    setFormat       vtk;

    trackForward    true;

    fields (p U);

    lifeTime        2000;

    nSubCycle 5;

    cloudName       particleTracks;

    seedSampleSet
    {
        type        plane;
        axis        x;

        start       (2 0 0.3); //using this start and end still results in a line of points
        end         (2 0 0.7);
        nPoints     10;
    }
}
Thanks in advance
Raf
