![]() In Properties window select concentrator domain ( yoke in this case) and click Apply. To visualize concentrators, select Simulation Data from Pipeline Browser and open Extract Block filter. The single shot simulation incorporates concentrators around the coil, but they are not automatically exported. If we select Inductor from Pipeline Browser and change the visualization from Solid Color to Current Density, we can visualize the current flow in the inductor, while keeping the temperature distribution in the workpiece. IMPORTANT: Because workpiece and inductor data sets have been exported seperately, we can manipulate results independently for each domain. CENOS automatically exports data sets of workpiece and inductor domains, but Extract Block can be used even further.įor example, in 3D single shot case CENOS automatically exports and visualizes the temperature distribution in the workpiece as well as a solid inductor. Extract BlockĮxtract Block allows to extract single or multiple domains from the full data set and manipulate the results in these domains independently. Even though they are not as complex as other filters, they are still important for the post-processing. IMPORTANT: If you want to apply filters to a specific data set, you need to first select them from the Pipeline Browser.įor example, if you want to apply a filter such as Plot Over Line to the workpiece, the corresponding data set must be chosen before selecting the filter, otherwise none of the filters will be selectable.įilters that are most commonly used as the means of visual result evaluation are also the first ones to be used in order to determine the validity of the results. ![]() The simulation data will also be divided into smaller data sets, such as Workpiece, Inductor etc. After the end of the calculation CENOS will open ParaView window with a pre-set state consisting of 1 result window (in 3D case) or 2 result windows (in axial symmetric 2D case). In order to use ParaView filters, first a data set must be chosen on which the filter will apply. If you don't know which filter to use, you can choose from all filters available by clicking Filters → Alphabetical In the example below the word plot has been written in the Search window, and all filters which names include plot are found and available for selection. and search directly for the filter by entering its name in the Search window and clicking Enter. If you know which filter you need, you can click Filters → Search. ParaView filters are algorithms that extracts a specific information such as iso-contours and point data from the initial result data set and are used to visualize specific physical properties of the calculated simulation.įilters are accessible in different ways. ![]() Simply click Re-calculate to calculate the missing result values:Īfter you have set up the post-processing settings, you can calculate the simulation and analyze the results in ParaView. If you have calculated the case, but forgot to select a specific value, you can select it even after the calculation and recalculate only the result part to get the value of interest. In there you can select or deselect values you want to calculate: To enter post-processing settings, you need to click the gear icon under Visualization block: IMPORTANT: In post-processing settings you can change and calculate only values you are interested in which can be found in ParaView and. By default ParaView shows us the visual result components, such as Temperature or Current Density, but you can change the post-processing settings and calculate only values you are interested in. How to choose which result values to computeīefore we dive into ParaView and its workings, we need to first understand what is being visualized in ParaView. In this article we will look into some of the most common ParaView filters and their usage, as well as filters especially usefull in induction heating simulation result analysis. It is being used all around the world by specialists of different fields ranging from Structural Analysis to CFD and Climate Research.īeing one of the most powerfull open source data analysis and visualization software, it has become complex enough to confuse new users about how to use it. CENOS platform incorporates a powerfull post-processing tool - ParaView.
