Plot a relationship between two variables along a line/curve Need to create the line first Polyline, Boundary Intersection curve, Contour line, etc. Charts are automatically added to the Report Chart Points are not necessarily evenly spaced Data points usually correspond to where the line/curve intersects a mesh face Multiple lines can be plotted on a single chart Charts 1. Create Curves 2. Create Chart 3. Select Chart Type 4. Create Data Series (Lines) Charts 5. Select X and Y Axis variables Charts: Type Charts can be one of three types: XY Standard XY plots based on line locators XY – Transient or Sequence Plots an expression (usually Time) versus a variable at a point locator Typically used to show the transient variation of a variable at a point Data must be present in the trn files Histogram Can be based on any locator that contains multiple data locations – lines, surfaces, planes, domains (but not points) Plots a variable divided into discrete bands on the X Axis versus the frequency of occurrence on the Y Axis Charts: Data Series and Axes Each data series corresponds to a location (line, point, etc.) which corresponds to a curve on the chart Use the X and Y Axis tabs to set the variables on the axes The remaining tabs are for various display options Add new data series Fast Fourier Transform FFT can be applied to signals to extract frequency data Original Signal FFT of Signal Showing Dominant Frequency CFD-Post has report generation tools which allow for rapid creation of customized reports Reports are template based Depending on the information contained in a results file, a report template will be selected automatically Right-click on Report to select a different template You can create your own custom templates or modify existing templates E.g. add you company logo, add Charts, Tables, Plots etc Reports Reports Use the check boxes to control what is included in the report Double-click items to edit For example, editing the Mesh Report shows that ad
