Hello, my friends; I am trying to interpret Fluent data for a wavy tunnel. The issue lies in the triangulation, as shown in the image. I am unsure how to resolve it and do not understand how to prevent the triangulation from occurring.

Hi @ran,
Could you please specify how we can use the file you have attached to plot the figure ?
