Solution/Results
Press the Results button in the Workflow to extract information from the simulation. In order to find information that can be readily used, first press Evaluate Results. Once the evaluation is complete, AIM will automatically output a vector in the Results section under Objects. Due to the size of the flow volume, the evaluation may take some time to calculate.
Select the Velocity Vector to edit the settings with which the vectors are defined. Change the Location to Symmetry 1, the Symbol distribution to Based on mesh, and input 5 for At every Nth item. Change the Symbol sizing to 0.2 in the Appearance section to alter how big the arrows are. Press the Play button in the model window to see how these velocity vectors develop over time.
Pressure on the wing can be plotted by adding a Contour in the Add drop down menu. Use Pressure as the Variable and then select the faces of the wing.
A pressure contour on the symmetry plane can also be plotted by adding a Contour in the Add drop down menu. Use Pressure as the Variable and then select the symmetry face. Change the Coloring to Banded and update the Number of colors to 15.
