My analysis type is external. It is a thermal simulation for a LED lamp.
The simulation is completed successfully, no warnings and errors.
After simulation, there is no problem to view the cut plots and surface plots.
But flow trajectories cannot be inserted and the button on the menu bar is gray.
Can anybody tell me what is the problem?
BTW, my configuration is Windows XP 64bit + Solidworks + Flow simulation (2010 SP4).
Hello,
I think I know : the last cut plot you displayed was certainly "solid temperature" or "heat transfer coefficient", to sum up something that cannot be used with flow trajectories.
Try the following : view settings, then change to "temperature" or "velocity"
Now you menu should not be greyed out any more.

Or switch up to the 2011 version and you can have different view parameters for different plots (finally).
And did I mention that you animate plots by selecting Play through a right click option too.

Check out this post on how to create flow trajectories for an external flow problem. Creating Flow Trajectories for an External Flow
According to your reply, I find the problem and solve it.
Thanks a lot!
