Clipping Planes Reveal Even More Hidden CFD Secrets

Clipping planes are another tool to reveal hidden regions of your Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) results.

Clipping planes, aligned with the three coordinate axes, can be used to interactively trim back your simulation to reveal hidden internal details.
