Preparing the Scenes

Here you prepare scalar scenes to visualize the impingement rate, the volume fraction of the dispersed phase, and the total solid film thickness increment. You also create a vector scene to visualize the morpher displacement.

To visualize the impingement rate:

  1. Create a scalar scene and rename it to Impingement Rate.
  2. Expand the Scenes > Impingement Rate node.
  3. Edit the Outline 1 > Parts node, and remove Region_1 from the selected Parts.
  4. For the node, Scalar 1, set the following properties:
    Node Property Setting
    Parts Parts Region_1 > Boundaries > Foil [In-place 1]
    Scalar Field Function Film Impingement Rate > Film-Dispersed Impingement Rate of Film-DMP
To visualize the volume fraction of the dispersed phase:
  1. Create a scalar scene and rename it to DMP Volume Fraction.
  2. Edit the Scenes > DMP Volume Fraction node, and set the following properties:
    Node Property Setting
    Scalar 1 > Parts Parts Region_1
    Scalar 1 > Scalar Field Function Volume Fraction > Volume Fraction of DMP Phase
The solid film thickness increment is computed at every time step. To visualize the total solid film thickness increment, accumulated during the total simulation time, you need to create a Field Sum monitor for the Solid Film Thickness Increment scalar function.
  1. Within the Monitors node, create a new Field Sum monitor with the following settings:
    Property Setting
    Field Function Solid Film Thickness Increment
    Parts Foil shell > Boundaries > Interface to Region_1 [In-place 1]
  2. Rename the Field Sum 1 monitor to Total Solid Film Thickness Increment.
  3. Create a scalar scene and rename it to Total Solid Film Thickness Increment.
  4. Expand the Scenes > Total Solid Film Thickness Increment node.
  5. Edit the Outline 1 > Parts node, and remove Region_1 from the selected Parts.
  6. For the node, Scalar 1, set the following properties:
    Node Property Setting
    Parts Parts Foil shell > Boundaries > Interface to Region_1 [In-place 1]
    Scalar Field Function Sum of Solid Film Thickness Increment
To visualize the morpher displacement:
  1. Create a vector scene and rename it to Morpher Displacement.
  2. Expand the Scenes > Morpher Displacement node.
  3. Select the Outline 1 node and activate Surface.
  4. Edit the Outline 1 > Parts node, deselect all Parts, and then select Region_1 > Boundaries > Foil [In-place 1].
  5. For the node, Vector 1, set the following properties:
    Node Property Setting
    Parts Parts Region_1 > Boundaries > Foil [In-place 1]
    Vector Field Function Morpher Displacement
  6. Save the simulation.
