Is cross section view possible?

[WarrenZhuo]

Greetings.

As mentioned above, I need a cross section view of a  3D model for a school project and am wondering if it is possible or not to achieve a similar result as the attached .gif file whilst using Autodesk Flow. 

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

I am assuming you are using Flow Design stand-alone (vs. one of the CAD/BIM embedded versions). If so, it's not currently possible to cut or clip the model itself, but you can move a plane through the domain in a similar fashion as illustrated. In the embedded versions you may have access to additional visualization tools that woiuld allow this -- I'm not sure exactly. 

Select the plane visualization in a 3D simulation, and look to the corner of the plane. You should see a turquoise-colored ruler and a grey sphere. Grab the grey sphere and drag to slide the plane through the domain.

Remember, Flow Design is a virtual wind tunnel optimized for external flow. If there are small passages in your model, make sure the resolution is high enough to capture them. Good luck!

A model documentation cross-section view is generated by slicing the entire length of the object being sectioned.
Note: Model documentation is available only on 64-bit systems.
Click a layout tab to switch to paper space.
Note: The Layout ribbon tab displays automatically when a layout is active.
Click Layout tabCreate View panel section drop-downfall.
Click the view you want to use as the parent view. The start direction arrow appears at the cursor.
Click in the drawing area to indicate the start point of the section line. The end direction arrow appears at the cursor.
Click in the drawing area to indicate the endpoint of the section line. A preview of the section view appears at the cursor.
Move the preview to the desired location and click [to] place the view.
Tip: The preview is constrained to move in a direction perpendicular to the section line. To relax the constraint, tap SHIFT. To restore the constraint, tap SHIFT again.
Click Section View Creation tab method panel depth drop-downslide. Find
Note: If you want to include geometry beyond the cutting plane, select Distance and specify the depth to which you want to include details.
Click Section View Creation tabCreate panels.

Hi @Hharshbargerson00 

FlowDesign wird nicht mehr unterstützt, bitte mit CFD arbeiten
