[Fluent] Generating Cd vs Mach Number Report/Plot
Hi guys!
I'm a student trying to learn Fluent and struggling with the graph I want to generate. Sorry in advance if this question is super basic.
I have a 2D NACA airfoil which I have meshed and ran calculations on, and I want to use the reports feature to make a coefficient of drag (C_d) vs. Mach number XY plot.
In Fluent, I made the far-field boundary condition velocity a parameter, hoping that I could iterate through it to make the graph.
I also set a report definition that outputs the coefficient of drag when I click calculate.
However, the only way I have found so far to calculate it quickly for many values is to change the parameter by hand in Workbench and click "Update Design Points," which then lists the new Cd. I have been moving them by hand into Excel.
I'm certain there's a better way to do this, and would be very grateful if someone had some advice on how to approach this problem. I have read the Fluent documentation several times, but it doesn't cover making reports in this way at all.
Thank you so much for reading.
