CFD Pressure plot

User: "Stef25"

Hello everyone,

I'm doing a cfd computation in Altair Inspire, and I'm struggling to plot a pressure along the pipe axis plot. Apparently Inspire doesn't do plots other than convergence ones.

What can I do? I also installed Paraview to post process the simulation files, but I can't find useful files other than a certain surface.vtm that actually only represents the solid domain…

Should I use another Altair software?

Thank you!

    Currently there are no line plots in Inspire CFD Post. That is on the list for the future.

    For more CFD analysis you can try SimLab (make sure you've also had the Additionals .zip file in the directory when you install SimLab) or HyperMesh CFD. Both of these would use AcuSolve as the CFD solver.

    You could try bringing Inspire CFD Results (*.json file) to HyperMesh CFD for post-processing, where you can create a line plot. You'll first need to set the following environment variable before launching HyperMesh CFD:

    HWCFD_EARLY_ACCESS

    with a value of 1 (1 is on, 0 is off)
