Step 2: Display the Solution in ANSYS CFD-Post

In the steps that follow, you will visualize various aspects of the flow for the solution using CFD-Post. You will:

• Prepare the case and set the viewer options

• View the mesh and check it by using the Mesh Calculator

• View simulation values using the Function Calculator

• Become familiar with the 3D Viewer controls

• Create an instance reflection

• Show fluid velocity on the symmetry plane

• Create a vector plot to show the flow distribution in the elbow

• Create streamlines to show the flow distribution in the elbow

• Show the vortex structure

• Use multiple viewports to compare a contour plot to the display of a variable on a boundary

• Chart the changes to temperature at two places along the pipe

• Create a table to show mixing

• Review and modify a report

• Create a custom variable and cause the plane to move through the domain to show how the values of a custom variable change at different locations in the geometry

• Compare the results to those in a refined mesh

• Save your work

• Create an animation of a plane moving through the domain.
