I'm running a sliding mesh analysis of wind turbine in FLUENT, and I need to do animation of the wind turbine. I need to animate the wake behind the blades. I know I have to do calculation activities-animation sequence.
Should I select the contour of velocity magnitude, streamline, pathline, or votices?
Hi There,
There are a few approaches you could adopt, you could as you suggest write out animation sequences however this is messy a better approach is to write out data files at specified times and use the CFD post tool to view your results that way you can do a case comparison. CFD post has a tool that displays vortexes in you domain.
hi
i totally agree with Andrew, you can collect the data and then in CFD post you can check every possible post processing you want. you can also see the vortex shredding and then you can make a movie of the animation as well.
You can make an animation at fluent but in my view cfx giving you more options for making animation although you dont wanna move it different solver then simply use post processor software for doing that and for animation work i fell tech plot 360 is better than cfd post .
