Run the Simulation

In this step, we start the flow simulation. It takes about 10 minutes to run.

  1. Click Solve from the Setup tab:

  2. After we enable heat transfer and the gravity vector, we can start the simulation:

    1. Click the Physics tab.

    2. Check Heat Transfer.

    3. Change the Gravity Direction to 0, 0, -1

    4. Click Solve.

While it's running, you can see the results as they are computed!

Here are some things to notice:

The Output bar displays "Analysis completed successfully" when the simulation finishes:

Next, we visualize the results!
