"In HyperWorks CFD 2022.3 , I am facing an issue while plotting streamlines for the internal fluid cavity used for lubrication purposes. The problem is transient in nature, and the pin rotates about the sub-axis. How can I capture the changes in velocity, pressure drop and rise, and mass flow rate in the streamlines?

    Probably better off using contours on slices - as streamlines are a per-time-step feature going through the entire domain. Streamlines aren't really intended for transient flows.
