Contours

The most common contours for the progressive cavity pump simulation are the pressure, and the total gas 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.

Pressure Contours

Select Volumes in the Geometric Entities Panel.
Select Pressure from the Variables list under Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel (see, Figure 6.876). For variables and legends refer, Post-Processing.
Specify Min as 80000 Pa and Max as 300000 Pa in the Results Panel.

Creating a section

A section is created with the following steps.

Click Create a Cross-Section icon in the Geometric Entities Panel. A new entities Section 01 is created under Derived Surfaces.
Select the Section 01 under Derived Surfaces and specify the Type and Position as Plane X and 0 m in the Geometry Tab of Properties Panel.

Pressure Contours on Section

Select Section 01 under Derived Surfaces in the Geometric Entities Panel.
Select Pressure from the Variables list under Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel (see, Figure 6.877).
Specify Min as 80000 Pa and Max as 300000 Pa 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.
