Contours
The steps to create contours are:
- Click Load Results option in the Simulation Panel.
- Select the required result file in the ensuing Load Results dialog box, click Open.
Free surface elevation
By creating the visualization of the free surface elevation on an isosurface, the waveform created by the hull can be represented.
- Click Create an Isosurface
icon in the Geometric Entities Panel. An Isosurface 01 is created under Derived Surfaces. - Select Volume Fraction [Component water] under Variables for the Isosurface Variable drop-down list in the Geometry Tab of Properties Panel.
- Select Single Value for the Option drop-down list and enter 0.5 for the Value.
- Select Free Surface Elevation under Derived Variables for the Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel.
- Select deck under CAD Surfaces in the Geometric Entities Panel .

Pressure Contour
- Select hull under Boundaries in the Geometric Entities Panel.
- Select DynamicPressure from the Variable drop-down list in the Results Panel. For variables and legends, refer Post-Processing.
- Specify Min as -1200 Pa and Max as 1200 Pa in the Results Panel.
Distribution of variables on the surfaces can be obtained through the steps in surface distribution.
