Most of the functionality is common to both the tool bar and the menu options In addition from the menu there are options to save out the post-processing objects, change their units, and review the report generated during the solution (if created) Zoom-in models can also be generated from this menu Creates a plot on the surface of one or more objects, assemblies or groups Select the object(s) from the pull down list and choose which sides and type of display to look at. Click Create to view the results on those surfaces Displays the results on a plane cut through the model Choose how to set the position, and enter values if necessary Choose what to display and clip Icepak will plot the data on the plane The plane can be “dragged” through the display using the scroll bar The plane can also be animated so that it steps through either the entire model or the clipped region Using the Clip to box option, a box within the model can be defined, and the view displayed on the post-processing object is limited to the region lying within that box Displays the results on a surface defined by a specific value of a particular variable. Again, can clip the display to a particular box. Create or use existing points to examine the temperature at specific point in the model Options include ability to display the local velocity vector at that point Source point particle Using the shift+left mouse key can also drag the point through the model Icepak Reports the position and result data in the bottom right hand corner of the GUI Once a post-processing object has been created, you can use the mouse probe to find out temperatures at specific points on the active object. Create the object, or activate an existing object Click on probe in the Icepak edit panel Use Left mouse button to click on a point on the object, Icepak reports the value of the variable being plotted at that point in the GDA Toggle between selection and translation of the model using F9 key Right mouse button to quit
