Animations

Animations are created by adding streamlines into the simulation. The steps for creating an animation are shown below:

Velocity Magnitude Streamline

1. Select Streamline in the Geometric Entities Panel.
2. Enter 0.0002 for Line Thickness and 0.002 for Animation Time Size .
3. Select Velocity Magnitude from the Derived Variables list in the Variable drop-down list of Results Panel.
4. Select fluid_domain Boundaries fluid_domain_Inlet and fluid_domain_Outlet under Volumes in the Geometric Entities Panel.
5. Select the fluid_domain Interfaces fluid_domain_Chip_thermal, fluid_domain_Heat_sink1, fluid_domain_Heat_sink2, fluid_domain_Heat_sink3, fluid_domain_PCB, fluid_domain_Transformer, fluid_domain_Transistor1, fluid_domain_Transistor2, fluid_domain_Transistor3 and fluid_domain_Transistor4 under Volumes along with Streamline.
