Contours

The most common contours for the Mixing tank simulation are the pressure and the velocity 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, the Type and Position are specified as Plane Y and 0 m in the Geometry Tab of Properties Panel.

Species Concentration Contours

1. Select Section 01 under Derived Surfaces in the Geometric Entities Panel.
2. Select Species: Concentration under Variables list for the Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel. For variables and legends refer, Post-Processing.
