Contours

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.

Isosurface contours

The Iso-surface shows the region of a specified range of Velocity X. These regions are colored with pressure.

1. Click Create an Isosurface icon in the Geometric Entities Panel. An Isosurface 01 is created under Derived Surfaces.
2. Select Isosurface 01 under Derived Surfaces.
3. Select Velocity X [m/s] Flow from the Variables list in the Isosurface Variable drop-down list in the Geometry Tab of Properties Panel.
4. Select Below Value from the Option drop-down list.
5. Ensure that the Value is set to 0 m/s.
6. Switch to View Tab of Properties Panel and specify the values as follows:
   • Select Pressure [Pa] Flow for Display Variable drop-down list.
   • Enter -75 for Minimum.
   • Enter 0 for Maximum.
