About Visualizing Results

In the Simulation Result Type panel, click the following commands to visualize results:

• Flow Rate
• Reynolds Number
• Pressure
• Velocity
• Temperature.

For each result, a color map on system elements and two legends display in the Model Pane. One legend represents intervals of result values for HVAC systems, while the other, for piping systems.

Note: In Revit, you can use different project unit settings for HVAC and piping systems. React Fluids keeps these settings from a Revit project. To ensure that the result maps are easy to read, it uses separate legends to display results for these systems.

To visualize the direction of the flow in system elements, click Simulation Flow Direction Show arrows.

To visualize the flow velocity, click Animate Flow. The animated velocity is proportional to the actual flow velocity specified for elements. It lets you quickly identify areas of the system where the flow velocity is insufficient.
