Mixing Tank: Exercise 7—Analyzing Results
This exercise describes how you analyze the results during and after the simulation. To hide CAD surfaces (not the fluid domain), switch between 
Flow Analysis Bodies and 
CAD Bodies in the Show group. Clear any variable display by selecting No Selection in the Legend drop-down. Click 
XYPlot Panel to view the XY Plot.

To show/hide selected geometric entities, click  Show in View Panel.2. To change the color scheme, click on  More in the Legend and select between Blue Red and Blue Purple. |
Viewing the Species Concentration on a Section
1. Under 
Results > 
Derived Surfaces, select Section 01.
Results > Derived Surfaces, select Section 01.2. In the Properties panel, View tab, for Surface, set values for the options as listed below:
◦ Grid — No
◦ Outline — No
◦ Variable — Concentration:01 [-] : Species
◦ Min — 0
◦ Max — 1
 | Concentration 01  [-]  |
Plotting the Uniformity Index
1. In the Flow Analysis Tree, click Common under Physics.
2. Click 
XYPlot. A new entity xyplot1 is added in the Flow Analysis Tree under Results > XY Plots.
