Dynamic Plots | ||
The Dynamic Plots module (Figure 1) allows the analysis of the temperature, pressure, heat flux and velocity fields obtained after the simulation. This module plots an outline of a variable in a certain line of control volumes. |

| Inside of the module the options to select a line and the field type where the graph is desired will appear on the screen. In the select a line guide you choose which direction to maintain constant, Ksi or Eta. When we keep Ksi constant the selected line goes from the border West to East. To choose the desired control volumes line, it is necessary to choose the number of the line in the Line guide. The lines variety from 0 to (n-1) control volumes of the domain in the “i” direction. The line 0 represents the line of the West border and (n-1) the line of the East border. When we keep Eta constant the selected line goes from the border South to North. To choose the desired control volumes line, it is necessary to choose the number of the line in guide Line. The lines variety from 0 to (n-1) control volumes of the domain in the "j" direction. In this case, 0 represent the line of the South border and (n-1) the line of the North border. |

| The option of selecting the field type that the graph will represent is in the Select a field guide. In that guide will appear the field options for the plotting of the graph. The available field types depend on the problem type that was solved. For Heat Conduction problems type, the available parameters will be: temperature, heat flux in u and v directions. (Figure 3). |

For Fluid Flow problems, the available parameters will be: pressure, speed in u and v directions (Figure 4). |

The module allows to change the form of the graph visualization, it can be visualized in lines, bars or marks (Figures 7, 8 and 9). |
