Plotting Soot Sectional Particle Size Distributions

You can visualize automatically updated soot post-processing data through plots as a function of iteration or time step.

These instructions are intended as an optional addition to the Emissions Workflow when using the Soot Sections model.
Create the table.

    1. Right-click the Tools > Tables node and select either:
      • New Table > Soot Sectional Particle Size Distribution Table - Boundaries
      • New Table > Soot Sectional Particle Size Distribution Table - Regions
    2. Select the Tools > Tables > [soot sectional particle size distribution table] node and set Parts to the region or boundary for which you want to visualize the soot sectional particle size distribution.
    3. Select the Tools > Tables > [soot sectional particle size distribution table] > Update node and activate Auto Extract.
  2. To create the plot, right-click the Plots node and select New Plot > XY Plot.
  3. To visualize the tabular data on the plot:
    1. Right-click the Tools > Tables > [Soot Sectional Particle Size Distribution Table] node and select Extract.
    2. Right-click the Plots > XY Plot 1 > Data Series node and select Add Data.
    3. In the Add Data Providers to Plot dialog, select Tables > [soot sectional particle size distribution table] and click OK.
  4. As the solution runs, the plot automatically updates to show the soot sectional particle size distribution on the selected region or boundary.
