Preparing the Scene for Visualization

Add two displayers to the default scene: one to display the velocity vectors on a plane cutting through the center of the simulation domain and one to display the temperature on the chip package.

Begin with creating the plane section:
  1. Right-click the Scenes > Drawables node and select New > Section.
  2. Within the in-place dialog, in the Plane Parameters group box, set the Normal vector to [0.0, 1.0, 0.0] mm.
  3. Click OK.
Set up the displayer that shows the velocity vectors on the plane section:
  1. Right-click the Scenes > Electronics Cooling 1 node and select New Displayer.
  2. In the in-place dialog for the displayer, set the following properties:
    Property Setting
    Name Air Velocity
    Drawable Items Section
    Displayer Mode Vector
    Field Function Velocity
  3. Click OK.
Set up the displayer that shows the temperature on the chip package:
  1. Create a new displayer and set the following properties:
    Property Setting
    Name Package Temperature
    Drawable Items Package
    Displayer Mode Scalar
    Field Function Temperature
    Color Map cool-warm
    Contour Style Smooth Filled
To have a better view of the chip package temperature, hide the mesh:
  1. Right-click the Scenes > Electronics Cooling 1 > Mesh node and select Toggle Visibility.
  2. Save the simulation .
