Contours

The most common contours for the cabin radiation simulation are the temperature and the velocity contours 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.

Create a section

A section is created with the following steps:

Click Create a Cross-Section icon twice in the Geometric Entities Panel. New sections Section 01 and Section 02 are created under Derived Surfaces.
Select Section 01, the Type and Position are specified as Plane X and 0 mrespectively in the Geometry Tab of Properties Panel.
Select Section 02, the Type and Position are specified as Plane Y and 0 m respectively.

Velocity magnitude Contours

Select Section 01 and Section 02 under Derived Surfaces in the Geometric Entities Panel.
Under Volumes > cabin > Boundaries, select cabin_chair and cabin_table along with other sections.
Select Velocity Magnitude under Derived Variables list for the Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel. For variables and legends, refer Post-Processing.

Density Contours

Select Section 02 under Derived Surfaces in the Geometric Entities Panel.
Select Density under Properties list for the Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel.
Under Volumes > cabin > Boundaries, select cabin_table along with section in the Geometric Entities Panel.
Select Velocity under Variables list for the Vector drop-down list of the View Tab of Properties Panel.
Set the following parameters for the vectors:
1. Size - 3
2. Head Size - 0.15
3. Projection - Yes

Temperature Contours

Select cabin under Volumes in the Geometric Entities Panel.
Select Temperature under Variables list for the Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel. For variables and legends, refer Post-Processing.
