View the initialisation field - how?

Jiaying Xu

I remember there is a way to visulize the initilised flow field, by specified a zero-step (or one-step?) iteration then use prostar post-processing panel to view the field.

But today whenever I set iteration number to 0, or 1, or a small number, I seem not able to load the data during post-processing (always get "**WARNING - NO ITEMS SELECTED FOR PLOTTING" error.)

I am guessing I need to turn on some options to dump velocity, temperature, etc to .pst file. However, the User Guide lists many options, but just not saying what option will dump data to which file (From my experience, turning on some option will dump data into .info file, some into .erd file, some into .run file, some into .pst file -- What for which is just not clear).

I also set Solution Output Frequency to 1 but still no help (I suppose whatever the value is, the velocity and temperature field data should be stored in .pst file after the final iteration anyway, but this is not the case!)

Anyone please light me up? Thanks!
