CFD plotting problem. Please help!! :(

Hi, I'm having some difficulties with my CFD. As seen in the first picture when the simulation is running the residual is plotting as normal but as for the the other plots Cl, Cd, Cl/Cd etc etc. does just simply do not show any plotting on the graph, if it makes sense to explain it. Please can someone points out what is wrong because I'm just going mad figuring what is wrong. Thanks

Hello lucbutt,

For your residuals plot, the residuals values are plotted against iterations.
But for your Cl, Cd and Cl/Cd plots, the y-values are against "Physical time".

It seems to me that you triggered the physical time for the X-axis representation in the "Plots" and "Monitor" nodes.

Hope this has been helpful
