Contours

The most common contours for the conjugate heat transfer in a EGR cooler 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 icon  in the Geometric Entities Panel. A new section Section 01 is created under Derived Surfaces.
2. Select Section 01 under Derived Surfaces and specify the Type and Position as Plane Z and 0.37 m in the Geometry Tab of Properties Panel.

Temperature and Velocity Magnitude Contours

1. Select Section 01 under Derived Variables in the Geometric Entities Panel.
2. Select Temperature under Variables list for the Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel (see, Figure 11.66). For variables and legends refer, Post-Processing.
3. Select Velocity Magnitude under Derived Variables list for the Variable drop-down list (see, Figure 11.67).
