Q. I am doing a simulation in a high aspect ratio geometry (a tunnel) and would like to view plots along the tunnel in full length. However, it is very difficult to see the (thin) line of the tunnel using standard contour plots (for example). Is there a transformation to help in CFX-Post?
A. The simplest way would be to rotate the model so you are looking very obliquely at the tunnel. That is, almost looking straight down the tunnel but from slightly to one side. A better way would be to use a scaling. Generate the contour plot and then edit it and switch to the View tab. Near the bottom is the Apply Scale option, and you can check this on and apply a much reduced scaling in your tunnel axis direction. This way, any plots along the length of the tunnel would be squeezed up and easier to see. Also, if your tunnel is not planar you could scale it in the horizontal direction as well to make things easier.
