How to make a Plane Section in STAR-CCM+

In STAR-CCM+ a Plane Section can be made that cuts your model. We did cover how to generate Plane Sections in the training. The method in doing so is

given below.

In the STAR-CCM+ tree structure on of the folders is named Derived Parts. Right click this folder and choose New Part > Section > Plane.

You can define the Input Parts to be both the hot and cold water, if the

solid pipe was also explicitly modelled, then it can also be added.

A new node appears under the Derived Parts node, which you can visit and

adjust the properties that define the part.

This Plane Section can now be used to display any Scalar (in your example

temperature) or Vector (in your example velocity).
