I need to calculate the pressure below a fsae car as well as on top in a 2D simulation.
However I only could generate a straight line.


I want to create a line with 100 points that follows the contour of the car.
This is the line I created.

This is better done by just making sure the bottom surface of the car is its own boundary. Then you should just be able to make an XY plot with that surface.

I was running a simulation, the power went off but the system was backed up by UPS. I saved the simulation after some time the file is not opening and it pops up the message "Apparently, the original save action did not terminate successfully". How to retrieve my simulation???? Any ideas?

sriram9127, your issue is not related to this thread, please start your own.


Unfortunately that message indicates your sim file is corrupted, so you may as well delete that file.
You can look in the directory for a backup file named yourSimName.sim~ which might have the simulation at an earlier state.

If I plot the surface velocity don`t I just get the velocity of the boundary (zero)?

I tried to make manual point probes. However I could not export the data. Somehow the points that weren`t in line didn`t get written to the .csv file.

Yes, but your original post states you were looking for pressure below the car, which is best done at the surface.



Manually making point probes would be very tedious and is best done with a Java macro, assuming they should not be in a straight line.
