Quantity Command

The Quantity command loads a specified field quantity into the top register of the calculator. Phasors in the calculator are peak phasors. The Poynting command in the calculator therefore implements the Poynting vector for peak phasors. Calculations which compute either average or instantaneous time domain quantities must adhere to the peak phasor conventions. Transient solution types display the transient quantities (with "_t" appended).

The available quantities are:

Pres	The relative static pressure of the fluid and is available when flow is computed.
Temp	Available when temperature is computed.
U	The x, y, or z component of the velocity vector and is available when flow is computed.
Heat_Flow_Rate	A derived scalar quantity computed from the temperature field. See Icepak Post Processing Quantities for more information.
Heat_Flux	A derived scalar quantity computed from the temperature field. See Icepak Post Processing Quantities for more information.
Mass_Flux	Is the mass flow rate per unit area and can only be computed on the surface of model objects.
Surf_Pressure	The relative static surface pressure of the fluid and is available when flow is computed.
Radiation_Flux	The radiation heat flow per unit area and can only be computed on surfaces of objects. It is available if you are solving your problem with radiation effects.
Surf_Temp	The surface temperature and is available when temperature is computed. See Icepak Post Processing Quantities for more information.
Turbulent_Viscosity_Ratio	The ratio of the turbulent viscosity to the laminar viscosity. It can be reported if any of the available turbulence models are used.
Turbulent_YPlus	is a nondimensional parameter. See Icepak Post Processing Quantities for more information.
Turbulent_Kinetic_Energy	The turbulent kinetic energy. See Icepak Post Processing Quantities for more information.
Turbulent_Epsilon	The turbulent dissipation rate. See Icepak Post Processing Quantities for more information.
Heat_Transfer_Coeff	A derived scalar quantity computed from the temperature field. See Icepak Post Processing Quantities for more information.
Thermal_Cond_X, Y, and Z	The x, y, or z component of the orthotropic thermal conductivity vector and is available when traces are imported.
Speed	The magnitude of the velocity vector and is available when flow is computed.
Heat_Radiative_Flow	A derived scalar quantity. It is available if you are solving your problem with radiation effects. It can be computed only on surfaces of objects.
Mass_Flow_Rate	A derived scalar quantity computed from the velocity field. See Icepak Post Processing Quantities for more information.
