Summary of steps in the above videoTo 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
   Adjust view
   2. Click +X on the bottom right triad
3. Create a pressure contour
   1. Select 'Insert' > '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 regionsGo under the 'view' tab and check 'apply rotation'"local" for range
   5. Set axis to X
   Set angle to 90 degrees
