Step 5: View Simulation Values using the Function Calculator

You can view values in the simulation by using the Function Calculator:

1.   In the Calculators view, double-click Function Calculator. The Function Calculator appears.

2.   In the Function field, select a function to evaluate. This example uses minVal.

3.   In the Location field, select fluid.

4.   Beside the Variable field, click the More Variables icon and select Volume in the Variable Selector dialog box.

Click OK.

5.   Click Calculate to see the result of the calculation of the minimum value of element volumes found in the fluid region. Note that even though the length of the elbow is measured in inches, the volume is returned in cubic meters.
