(f)   Close the Contours dialog box.

4.   Display temperature profile for the lens-inner.

Plots XY Plot Set Up...

(a)   Disable both Node Values and Position on X Axis in the Options group box.

(b)   Enable Position on Y Axis.

(c)   Enter 0 and 1 for X and Y in the Plot Direction group box.

(d)   Retain the default selection of Direction Vector from the Y Axis Function drop-down list.

(e)   Select Temperature... and Wall Temperature (Outer Surface) from the X Axis Function drop-down lists.
