12.2 Grid, Contours and Vectors

To display the Grid, Contours and Vectors, use the following steps:

Display Grid

1. Select Boundary/Volume/Sections/Iso Surfaces/CAD Surface under the Geometric Entities Panel.
2. Enable Surface and Grid in the Results Panel.

Display Contours

1. Select Boundary/Volume/Sections/Iso Surfaces under the Geometric Entities Panel.
2. Enable Surface and select a Variable in the Results Panel.

Other display parameters such as cell and node based views, smooth color map and legend can also be adjusted in the Results Panel.

´	Note:  Variables can be displayed over Boundaries and Interfaces. For more information, refer to the post-processing sections in Tutorials.

Velocity Vector

1. Select Boundary/Volume/Sections under the Geometric Entities Panel.
2. Enable Surface and Vectors in the Results Panel.
3. Select Velocity Magnitude under Variable in the Results Panel.

Other vector related properties can also be changed in the View Tab of Properties Panel.
