Contours

The most common contours for the windshield simulation are the Velocity, Temperature, and ice/water volume fraction across the domain. The steps to create contours are:

Click Load Results in the Simulation Panel.
Select the required result file in the ensuing Load Results dialog box, click Open.

Temperature Contours

Select ice Volume in the Geometric Entities Panel.
Select Temperature from the Variables list under Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel (see, Figure 7.292). For variables and legends, refer Post-Processing.
Specify Min as 293 K and Max as 348 K in the Results Panel.

´	Note: Changes to the display, such as legend, contour color, image sizing and transparency can be made under the View Tab of Properties Panel.

Create a section

A section is created with the following steps.

Click Create a Cross-Section icon in the Geometric Entities Panel. A new section Section 01 is created under Derived Surfaces.
Select Section 01 under Derived Surfaces and specify the Type as Plane Y and Position as 0.1943 m in the Geometry Tab of Properties Panel.

Velocity Contours

Select Section 01 under Derived Surfaces in the Geometric Entities Panel.
Select Velocity Magnitude from the Derived Variables list under the Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel, see Figure 7.293.
Specify Min as 0 m/s and Max as 6 m/s in the Results Panel.
