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.
Viewing the Pressure Contours on a Boundary
| Temperature: [K] : Heat 370.0 300.0 |
1. Select Domains.
2. In the
Turn on/off view properties list, click
Hide all surfaces,
Hide all grids, and
Hide all outlines.
3. Under Boundary Conditions, Interface, select all entities with a name beginning with POWERINVERTER_1_FLUID, PANEL_FAN_/POWERINVERTER_1_FLUID, and PANEL_SOCKET_/POWERINVERTER_1_FLUID.
4. In the Properties panel, View tab, for Surface, set values for the options as listed below:
◦ Keep drawing—Yes
◦ Grid—No
◦ Outline—No
◦ Variable—Temperature: [K] : Heat
◦ Min—300
◦ Max—370
Plotting the Temperature at the Outlet Boundary
1. In the Flow Analysis Tree, click Boundary Conditions > General Boundaries.
2. Select BC_1.
3. Click
XYPlot. A new entity
xyplot1 appears in the Flow Analysis Tree under
Results >
XY Plots 4. Click xyplot1.
5. In the Properties panel, View tab, for Surface, set Variable to Temperature.
6. Click
Stop and
Run in the
Run group, if needed.
