Edit
Opens the Combustion Settings dialog, which allows you to add plots and reports for heat release post-processing. See Combustion Settings Dialog.

Combustion Settings Dialog

Generate Heat Release Output
When On, generates output for heat release post-processing as specified by the following properties:
Calculate Apparent Heat Release
When On, adds the following plots and their associated reports:
Calculate Chemical Heat Release
When On, adds the following plots and their associated reports:
Generate Mass Fraction Burned Output
When On, adds the following histogram plots:
Additionally, markers are added to the Cylinder : Cyclic Apparent Heat Release and Cylinder : Cyclic Chemical Heat Release plots at the crank angles at which 10%, 50%, and 90% of the apparent/chemical heat release within a specified combustion interval is reached.
The plot values are calculated for the duration of a combustion interval defined by the following properties:
Start
Specifies the start of the combustion interval.
The following start events are available:
  • Custom Start Angle
  • Ignitor [n]: Spark Start Time
  • Injector [n]: Start of Injection
End
Specifies the end of the combustion interval.
The following end events are available:
  • Custom End Angle
  • Exhaust Valve [n] : Opening

The combustion interval is the time between the latest start event and the latest end event.

Whenever the simulation meets a start event, the start of the combustion interval is reset. The plot values are calculated whenever an end event is met—plot values calculated at previous end events are overwritten.

For multi-cycle simulations, all calculated values are reset at the end of a cycle.
