Hi,

 

I would like to plot certain scalar functions along a path that describes a circunference, not a straight line. Is there any way to do this in AcuFieldView?

 

Thanks!

    In this case, predefining these points as time history points in AcuConsole might be a better option. That way you will already get the actual value in AcuProbe, as calculated by the solver, instead of some form of interpolation done at post-processing level (AcuFieldView).  Check 'Workshop #3 or 4  - Convert a Reference Frame Case to a Sliding Mesh Case', for how to create time history points in AcuProbe.

    You can also do this in acuFieldView using an Open or Closed Curve Path.  These are also in the Paths > Create portion of the 2D Plot Controls window.
