Thermal Simulation Results

The results of a thermal simulation initially display the distribution of temperatures throughout your part in a contour plot. You can use the Plot list to switch to a vector plot of the heat flux.

The results available depend on your selections in the model for materials, contact, and thermal conditions. You can create plots for the results described below.

Result Plot Description
Temperature Displays a contour plot of the temperatures throughout your part.
Note: Animations of temperature contours are typically not realistic representations of the temperature modulations in your part. The animation depicts the transition from a uniform minimum temperature throughout the part (which might not represent the true initial conditions) to the final temperature distribution.
Heat Flux Displays a vector plot of the flow of heat throughout your part.
