Click the Results tab.
In this step, we examine the velocity results using a cutting plane and vectors.
Cut planes show results on a slice through the model. Use them to gain a comprehensive understanding of the flow. Use vectors to show the velocity direction and magnitude throughout the device.
Click Planes from the Results tab:
To create a Plane, click Add on the Planes context panel:
To orient the plane, left click on it, and click this icon from the context toolbar:
X
To move the plane, drag the triad axis normal to the plane.
To display vectors, select Velocity Vector from the Vector menu on the Planes context panel:
To adjust the vector spacing:
- Click Edit on the Planes context panel.
- On the Plane Control dialog, drag the Grid spacing slider toward Fine. (This is near the bottom of the dialog.)
To display vectors with varying lengths (scaled with Velocity):
- Click the Vector settings tab.
- In the Length group, select Length range.
- Drag the Min slider to the left and the Max slider to the right.
To hide the contours, right click on the plane, and select Outline.
