Pressure Contours in the y-z Plane
To plot the pressure distribution at a cross section of the blade:
- Make sure to have only 1 graphical instance of the blade
- Create a plane
- Select 'Location' > 'Plane'
- Set method to YZ plane
- Set X to desired value (Note that blade is in -x direction)
- Click Apply
- Adjust view
- Click +X on the bottom right triad
- Create a pressure contour
- Select 'Create chartInsert' > 'Contour'
- Set location to the plane just created
- Make sure the variable is pressure
- Specify min and max values to show high/low pressure regions
- Go under the 'view' tab and check 'apply rotation'
- Set axis to X
- Set angle to 90 degrees
