How to create and save cutting plane in SIMLAB

Hello Everybody,

I would like to know if it's possible to create cutting planes (like in Hyperworks) and save them in order to quickly activate and make some processing (in this case I'm doing CFD analysis).

Is it possible to do it?

 

Thanks

Ludovico

    Hi Ludovico,

    If you go to more options you can save the view like this:

    Once you saved it and whenever you're in the cutting plane mode, just right click and you will find all saved views:

    Hope this helps.

    Hi everybody,

    thanks for all your reply but I'm doing post processing not with the Multi-Physics ambient but with flow post-processing. I cannot go back to the other post-processing ambient. How can I do it?

     

    Kind regards

    Hi Ludovico,

    In Flow post processing all the cutting planes will be saved as shown:

    If you want to use the other post processing. Open any Boundary Condition > Set Ok > Yes to Erase solution:

    Then right click on the solution name > Attach Results. Attach your log file and choose MKS if you have units on (unless you changed the export unit system, set it accordingly) and you can change the post processing type:

    You can change  a setting like number of processors, this will "remove" the results from the SimLab database. Now you could "reattach" the result Log or H3D file.
