What happened to profile plot in Flow? Is this function buried someplace or did someone at SW decide Flow had too many useful features?

what is a profile plot? been using the software for almost 10 years now and don't remember a feature called "profile plot"
only thought is that you have your tree configured to have something turned off. rmb at the top of your flow tree and choose "customize" to add things back
Hi Jared,
If you do a search on the web for the 2009 Flow Simulation Tutorial on page 1-15 you'll see 3D Profile Plots between cut plots and surface plots. It was a useful feature. For example, if you have an inlet port with a lid, you can use surface plot to see the colors representing velocity. Profile plot would make the surface 3D so that the highest velocities had higher elevations than lower velocity regions of the flow.
take a look in the cut plot options
3d profile is there as an option
Hi Jared,
Thanks for finding it! I guess I didn't look hard enough. Interesting that when you click on "?" under Cut Plots, it doesn't mention it.
i havent' checked but there are a couple of push button fly outs for some options
also sometimes you have to use the search vs index list to find what you want in the help
