Power Inverter with Conjugate Heat Transfer: Exercise 6—Analyzing Results
This exercise describes how the results are analyzed during and after the simulation. To hide CAD surfaces (not the fluid domain), switch between CAD Bodies and Flow Analysis Bodies. Clear any variable display by selecting No Selection in the Legend drop-down. Click XYPlot Panel to view the XY Plot.
