To properly send the additional quantities to CFD-Post, you need to do the following steps in the right order. First initialize your solution, then select the additional quantities as shown in the above video, and finally, run the calculation. (If you already ran the calculation and opened CFD-Post, you can update which quantities are transferred by selecting them and then running at least one iteration.) |

- Some calculated parameters are not by default carried over into CFD-Post. We are interested in such quantities (i.e. Mach Number). To manually transfer a customized selection of quantities:
- On the Run Calculation tab, click Click File > Data File Quantities...
- Under Additional Quantities, select Static Pressure, Total Pressure, Mach Number, and Total Temperature.Run the calculation for at least one iteration.
- Post-processing will be done in CFD-Post. To open, double-click Results in Workbench.
- We are interested in viewing contours of Mach Number in CFD-Post
- Select Insert > Contour > Name > Mach No.
- Under Details of Mach No, select Locations > symmetry 1.
- Variable > Mach Number > No Contours = 101
- Turn on the mesh in the graphics pane
- Check the box next to symmetry 1 in the Outline tree > Click Render > Show Mesh Lines.
- Turn off the mesh by deselecting symmetry 1 in the outline tree
- Save a copy of the figure in the graphics pane
- Select the camera icon in the toolbar.
Pressure Contours
The following video shows how to make a plot of the pressure contours.
