Power Inverter without Heat Transfer: 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 CAD Bodies and Flow Analysis Bodies.
Viewing the Pressure Contours on a Boundary
Pressure: [Pa] : Flow
101325
101314
1. In Boundary Conditions, under General Boundaries select POWERINVERTER_1_FLUID.
