Viewing Temperatures at 900 Seconds

  1. Click the down arrow on Results Advisor (Simulation CommandManager) and click New Plot > Thermal .
  2. In the PropertyManager, under Display select Kelvin in Units .
  3. Under Plot Step, set to 30.
  4. Click .
    Temperature profile at 900 seconds (the last time step) is displayed.

    The temperature profile at 900 seconds is almost identical (0.4% off) to the steady state solution obtained in the first part of this tutorial. To reach higher levels of accuracy, increase the mesh density to the default mesh size. A coarse mesh is intentionally used in this example to reduce the analysis time.
