Visualize Mesh Cells

Allows to display the computational mesh cells and mesh related parameters at the calculation moment selected for getting the results.

Procedure

  1. Open the Mesh  dialog:
    • On the ribbon, click Flow Simulation > Results > Insert > Mesh.

    • On the toolbars, click Mesh on the Flow Simulation Results toolbar.

    • In the menu, select Tools > Flow Simulation > Results > Mesh > Mesh.

    • In the Flow Simulation analysis tree, right-click the Mesh item and select Insert.

  2. Under Display specify the way mesh cells are displayed:
    • Plots. Allows you to display the computational mesh cells in a section view or on the selected model faces or surfaces (see “Mesh Plots”).

    • Cells. Displays the computational mesh cells of the selected type (see “Mesh Cells”).

    • Channels. Displays the model surfaces colored by the channels height on the model faces (see “Mesh Channels”).

  3. Change values of parameters governing how mesh cells or mesh related parameters are displayed.

    The set of parameters is depending on the selected Display type.

  4. You can immediately show up all changes made in the plot definition on the plot.

    To preview the plot, click the Detailed Preview  button at the top of the dialog.

    Now all changes made in the plot definition immediately show up on the plot.

    Note:

    All changes made in the Preview mode are not saved until you click OK .

  5. Click OK  to create the plot and close the dialog.

    -or-

    Click Keep Visible  before clicking OK  to keep the dialog open and proceed with the plot definition.

Results

The new mesh item appears in the Flow Simulation analysis tree.

To edit definition of the plot, in the Flow Simulation analysis tree, double-click the plot item, or right-click the item and select Edit Definition.
