Contours

The most common contours for the planetary gearbox simulation are the 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.

Select Section01 (Z= -0.015371) in the Geometric Entities Panel.
Select Volume Fraction: Component of oil from the Derived Variables list under Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel (see, Figure 7.214). For variables and legends refer, Post-Processing.
Specify Min as 0 and Max as 1 in the Results Panel.

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