Contours

There are multiple display variables associated with the particle module. The steps to create contours across the domain 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 Z 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 11.320. For variables and legends, refer Post-Processing.
3. Specify Min as 0 m/s and Max as 31 m/s in the Results Panel.

Pressure Contours

1. Select Section 01 under Derived Variables in the Geometric Entities Panel.
2. Select Pressure under Variables list for the Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel see Figure 11.321.
3. Specify Min as 101067 Pa and Max as 101578 Pa in the Results Panel.

Erosion Thickness Contours

1. Select elbow_wall under Boundaries in the Geometric Entities Panel.
2. Select Erosion Thickness under Boundary Variables list for the Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel see Figure 11.322.
3. Specify Min as 0 m and Max as 5.36e-08 m in the Results Panel.

Erosion Weight Contours

1. Select elbow_wall under Boundaries in the Geometric Entities Panel.
2. Select Erosion Weight under Boundary Variables list for the Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel see Figure 11.323.
3. Specify Min as 0 kg/m² and Max as 0.001 kg/m² in the Results Panel.
