Chapter 14: Creating Geometric Results Displays
In a geometric results display, you can review your solution results in a postprocessing display of your model's
elements.
The following geometric results display topics are available:
14.1. Using the GUI to Display Geometric Results
14.2. Options for Creating Geometric Results Displays
14.3. Changing the Specifications for POST1 Results Displays
14.4. Q-Slice Techniques
14.5. Isosurface Techniques
14.6. Controlling Particle Flow or Charged Particle Trace Displays
14.1. Using the GUI to Display Geometric Results
The choice of geometric results displays includes displaced shapes, results contours (including line-element
"contours," such as moment diagrams), and vector (arrow) results (such as thermal flux vector displays).
These displays are available only within POST1, the general postprocessor. The following figure illustrates a
typical geometric results display:
Figure 14.1 Contour Results Plot
The most convenient way to create and control geometric results displays is by using the functions available
under Utility Menu> Plot and Utility Menu> PlotCtrls. Alternatively, you can use graphics action and
control commands, as described in the following subsections.
