Can not draw flow trace in 3D FLOTRAN, Ansys 7.0

(OP)
Dear everybody,

I am working with 3D flow simulation, however, after I finish the simulation, I can not draw the particle flow as I want. Ansys launch this, but nothing happen with my model but a dark frame. I have done this with 2D problem and the flow particle worked very well, but in 3D I am stucked.
Can anyone give me a hint, I am sure it will be very usedful for me. Looking forward to yours all.
Best wishes.

Hi mohr,

I am sorry, I have no idea how to check the capatibility between Ansys and my video board, please show me how to check it. But what do you think about 2D case since it did very well.

Hi Thanhvan
I believe problem is something else and that lies in picking the flow trace points. While you were working in 2D its easy to pick up flow trace points but in 3D you have to pickup trace points on Work Plane. So move your workplane in the area where you want to pick the points and then plot the flow trace. I hope it will help

Yes, rikhan, thanks so much for your advice. I did it and ANSYS worked very well.
Best regard.
