Hi All,

 

Is there any option to add uniformly spaced seeds on the selected surfaces for Streamlines in AcuFieldView

    If you use a coordinate surface as your seed surface, you do have the option for uniform array of seeds.  For example, if you're trying to seed the inlet surface - create a coordinate surface at that location, and use that as your seed surface.

     

    Any other surface type does not have that.  You would then need to save a restart file and edit the locations of the seeds such that they are in your desired locations.

    It is not helping by using coordinate surface as my seeding surface. Can you please elaborate the procedure?

    Right.  Sorry, my mistake, it's velocity vectors you can do with a uniform grid on a coordinate surface, not seed particles.  I found reference to functionality to do this.  Try  Tools > FVX Utilities > Rectangular Streamline Seeding
