Plotting streamlines at a certain distance from an edge

Hi,
I'm modeling a flow with Re<<1. It's a 2D flow over a cylindrical post with the axis of the cylinder perpendicular to the flow. I want to plot streamlines at a certain distance from the top and bottom edges of the cylinder. Can someone guide me through the process?
Thanks in advance,
Spandana

Hi Spandana,
When computing streamlines you can choose to specify initial coordinates of the streamline(s). That location can be anywhere inside the model and not necessarily at the start or finish. In the Streamline Positioning input specify “Start Point Controlled” and in the Entry Method specify “Coordinates”.
