Using the Ribbon (Standalone)

The commands in the ribbon are arranged from left to right to guide you through the Flow Design (standalone) simulation process.

There are two basic classifications of commands, Setup and Results:

Setup commands

When you first open a model into Flow Design, the setup parameters are computed automatically based on the model size and settings from your previous session, and the wind tunnel starts running. There are several tools for making modifications based on the actual parameters of the flow and the goals of your study:

Results commands

As the wind tunnel runs and when it is complete, you can use these commands to visualize the flow field and to understand how the air flow interacts with your model:
