Frontal area calculation in HWCFD using tcl script attached.
Steps:
1. Set an environment variable: HWCFD_SHOW_CMDWIN with a value of 1
2. Launch Hyperworks CFD
3. Display only the surfaces for frontal area calculation. (surfaces must be meshed)
4. In attached script, update plane on which you want to calculate frontal area - these are the first three entries (x, y, z) to set the projection normal
5. View menu > Tcl Console
6. In tcl console type: source <complete path to frontalArea.tcl script>
Example: source C:/Users/frontalArea.tcl
This will print frontal area value in the console.
