FIDAP-Viewing contours on an interior plane in a 3D plot

You may need to obtain a section view of a 3D geometry to look at the contour plot at the interior of the object. For example, Figure 1 shows the isometric view of temperature contour plot for a 3D object. Looking at this Figure, we cannot make any conclusions about the temperature contours inside the body. To view the temperature contours inside the object we need to view the results across a section. So, we define a plane in FIDAP and then use this cutting plane to view the results. Figure 2 shows a sectional view of the object.
