For Flow Simulation post-processing, I am planning to select asection plane at some location, difefrent from regular front or top view. I did succeed in creating this plane in section view. However, when I draw the cut plot, the only section is front plane. How can I change the plane to be the one which I defined?
Thanks a lot.
Just select the other plane from the feature tree.
Alin,
Could you be more specific? I could not find it under my left-side tree?
Thanks.

Create a reference plane and it will be in the tree. If it is there, you can select it for a Cut Plot.
Hello,
In Solidworks, add a reference plane in your desired location.
Click on Insert, Reference Geometry, Plane or Live Section Plane
SW2010 includes 'Live Section Plane', which is an easy way to add reference geometry.
Hope this helps,
Rich.
Yes, I added a reference plane.
however, the problem still persists.
From the feature tree, I didn't see one "singal sign" with the default "Front Plane". Is there some way I can change this sign to link with my newly defined plane?
Thanks.
You go to the solidworks tree to pick the plane. You can pick any flat model surface as well.
You may not be turning off the model graphics, which will obscure any cut plot. This can be done by hiding the model or in Flow Sim in the Results/Display menu deslecting the geometry.
