How to do vector plot of face normal vectors in FLUENT 6? This can be used, for example, to determine which side the shadow of a wall is facing. The shadow is facing the opposite of the normals. 1. Define the following custom field functions: Af=(x-face-area^2+y-face-area^2+z-face-area^2)^.5 ax=x-face-area/Af ay=y-face-area/Af az=z-face-area/Af 2. Dispaly->Vectors -click on custom vectors -select ax, ay, and az for x, y, and z components, respectively. -click on define -click on close -select vector name under 'Vectors Of' -click on display Or one could just set x, y, and z components of the vector to x-face-area, y-face-area, and z-face-area, respectively, without having to make custom field function. |
