Hi Yvan,

Regarding what I would like to find out in Paraview:
I think I need to define in Mesh under Output control the boundaries (the three blades in my case) on which
to calculate the quantities I want !? Could you please confirm this!?
If that is true: What Id I need to impose for boundary faces (option in Type)? (-2 or leave the number that appear by default when creating a new mesh part)?

thank you for your help!

Regards,

FA

Hello,

You can define a surface mesh with a selection criteria matching the blades. The id should be automatic, so no need to change it. Make sure the surface mesh has an associated writer so it is not ignored.

-2 is the id for the default boundary output mesh. You could replace the all[] criteria with the blade selection criteria, but generating a separate output mesh just for the blades allows you to also keep the rest of the boundary for other purposes.

Hi Yvan,

Thanks!

What do you mean with the following?:

Make sure the surface mesh has an associated writer so it is not ignored.

Do I have to edit or add another writer under Output Control/Writer ?

Hello,

No, you do not need to add another writer. For the added mesh, just make sure the "results" writer appears in the list of associated writers (use "+" in the list, which is empty by default).
