Hi all,

I have some problems with the smokeview display in SMV6 integrated with Pyrosim 2016. When I wanted to view the results of my simulation regarding the heat fluxes on the walls, I couldn't get clear view from the top of the room which I think is due to the existence of the mesh cells as can be seen in the attached.
I want to know how to remove those obstacles and get clear view so the heat fluxes on the walls can be seen clearly from the top the same as the fire shown by HRRPUV.
Please note that I turned off (hide) the display of the ceiling before starting the simulation which can be seen clearly in the loaded image of HRRPUV.

Any thoughts about this would be appreciated?

If you are viewing results using Pryrosim, you may need to contact Thunderhead.  In Smokeview, you simply toggle "g" to show or hide the grid.  If you've installed FDS-SMV, you can view your case in Smokeview directly.

take a look at the clipping dialog box.  That is another method for hiding a portion of the scene

You can also change the position of the grid. After pressing 'g' to view the grid you can use the up and down arrows on your keyboard to move the grid. I couldn't find this described in the manual.
