Results
Press the Results button in the Workflow to extract information from the simulation that was done. In order to find information that can be readily used first press Evaluate Results. Once the evaluation is complete, AIM will automatically output a contour in the Results section under Objects. This contour is pictured below and shows the temperature of the bar in a steady state. In order to make the coloring more accurate we go to Appearance > Color Distribution and in the drop down menu select logarithmic. Try it yourself and compare the differences.
In order to get the total heat flux, once again press Add but this time press contour. A new tab will appear and you will be asked to input a variable, in the drop down menu find Thermal > Heat Flux Magnitude. A contour will generate much like the one below.
In order to calculate the sum heat flow reaction of the simulation click on Add next to Results, and select Heat Flow Reaction. Automatically a calculated value will be created with the corresponding value.
