Streamline locations

younest99 · May 12, 2020, 12:48

For some reason my streamlines are not going onto the actual body of the study. I have used symmetry planes, so the side with missing wheels isn't part of the domain, and I have seeded parts from the inlet. Is there any way to ensure that the stream lines go to the actual bodies?

Don't seed the inlet.

Create the seeds near the bodies you want them to pass by and have them integrate/interploate (whatever the correct term/setting is) both forward and backward.'

There is also an option to mirror your scenes so that you show the full car, if you want to do that sort of thing.
