1. 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
   1. Select File > Data File Quantities
   2. Under Additional Quantities, Select Static Pressure, Total Pressure, Mach Number, and Total Temperature
   3. Click OK.
2. Post-processing will be done in CFD-post Go to Project Schematic > Double Click Results in Workbench.
3. Double click on Results.
4. We are interested in viewing contours of Mach Number in CFD-post
   1. Select Insert > Contour > Name > Mach No. 
   2. Under Details of Mach No, select Locations > symmetry 1.  
      1. Variable > Mach Number.
   3. Click Apply.
5. Increase the number of contours to 101 
6. 1. 1. Number> No Contours = 101
7. Turn To turn on the mesh in the graphics pane
   1. Check the box next to symmetry 1 in the Outline tree > Click Render > Show Mesh Lines.
8. Turn off the mesh by deselecting symmetry 1 in the outline tree
9. Save a copy of the figure in the graphics pane
   1. Select the camera icon in the toolbar.
      
      

...

1. Turn off the Mach Number contours in the graphics window
   1. Uncheck the box next to Mach no in the Outline tree.
2. We are interested in viewing contours of pressure in CFD-post
   1. Select Insert > Contour
   2. Name > Pressure Contours
   3. Under Details of Pressure contours, select Locations > symmetry 1.  
      1. Variable > Pressure.
   4. Click Apply.
3. To increase the number of contours to 101
   1. Under Details of Pressure contours, scroll down to # of Contours. Type “101”.
   2. Click Apply. 

Velocity Vectors

To plot the velocity vectors, follow the steps in the video below.

...

1. We are interested in viewing velocity vectors in CFD-post.
   1. Select Insert > Vector
   2. Type “Velocity vectors” under Name in the Insert Vector dialogue box that appears.
   3. Click OK.
   4. Under Details of Velocity vectors, select Locations > symmetry 1.  
   5. Click Apply.
2. To make the velocity vectors more visible, turn off the pressure contours
   1. Uncheck the box next to Pressure contours in the Outline tree

...

1. Insert line y = 0.4 m in CFD-post.
   1. Select Location > Line
   2. Keep “Line 1” under Name in the Insert Line dialogue box that appears.
   3. Click OK.> Name Line 1
   4. Under Details of Velocity vectors, type Point 1 coordinates (0,0.4,0) and Point 2 coordinates (1.5,0.4,0).Click Apply.
2. Plot Mach Number along the newly created line y = 0.4 m
   1. Select Insert > Chart
   2. Type “Mach no along Line 1” under Name in the Insert Chart dialogue box that appears.
   3. Click OK.
   4. Name 
   5. Under Details of Mach no along Line 1, select the Data Series tab. Select Location > Line 1.  
      1. select the X Axis tab. Select Variable > X.
      2. select the Y Axis tab. Select Variable > Mach Number.
   6. Click Apply.
3. To increase the number of samples along line y = 0.4 m to 100.
   1. Double click on Line 1 in the Outline tree.
   2. Under Details of Line 1, type “100” in Samples.Click Apply.
