This exercise teaches how to use the Wall dialog to measure hydrodynamic forces and thermal values on a surface or group of surfaces.
1. Click Wall Calculator from the Results tab:
2. Select Shaded from the Quick Access toolbar:
3. To choose an interior surface, we will need to hide exterior surfaces that are in the way: Click View (tab) > Appearance (panel) > Surface Blanking to cause surfaces to be hidden instead of volumes.
4. Hide the side surfaces of the cabin, and select the center section of the rear seat:
- If using Autodesk Simulation CFD or CoCreate navigation modes, middle-click on the surfaces to hide them.
- For the other mouse modes, hold Ctrl and right-click on the surfaces to hide them.
- Alternatively, right click on a surface and select Hide.
5. In the Wall Results dialog, check Pressure and Temperature. Click Calculate.
6. View the calculated values in the Output tab.
Note: This is a very useful way to determine temperatures and forces on one or more surfaces.
