Contours

The most common contours for the cyclone separator are the temperature contours across the domain. The steps to create contours are:

1. Click Load Results in the Simulation Panel.
2. 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.

1. Click Create a Cross-Section   in the Geometric Entities Panel. A new section Section 01 is created under Derived Surfaces.
2. Select Section 01 under Derived Surfaces.
3. Select Plane X for Type in the Geometry Tab of Properties Panel.
4. Enter 0 for Position.

Velocity Magnitude Contours

1. Select Section 01 under Derived Variables in the Geometric Entities Panel.
2. Select Velocity Magnitude under Derived Variables list for the Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel see, Figure 11.21. For variables and legends, refer Post-Processing.

Pressure Contours

1. Select Cyclone under Volumes in the Geometric Entities Panel.
2. Select Pressure under Variables list for the Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel see Figure 11.22.
