Cyclone Separator with Particle Separation: 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. Click
XYPlot Panel to view the XY Plot.

Results >
Derived Surfaces >
XY Plots.
4. Select xyplot1.
5. In the Properties panel, set the Variable as Mass Flux.
6. Click
Stop and
Run, if required.
Plotting the Pressure at Monitoring Point
1. In the Flow Analysis Tree, under Results click Monitoring Points.
2. Select Center_Point.
3. Click
XYPlot. A new entity
xyplot2 is added in the Flow Analysis Tree under
Results >
Derived Surfaces >
XY Plots.
4. Select xyplot2.
5. In the Properties panel, set Variable to Pressure.
6. Click
Stop and
Run, if required.
