Contours

Next up, we'll look at the pressure distribution on the blade surface. 

...

  1. Add contour, name it pressure contour
    1. Choose pressure
    2. Change # of contours to 110
    3. Go in render and uncheck lighting

Pressure Contours in the y-z Plane

To plot the pressure distribution at a cross section of the blade:

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