Chapter 13: Operating Maps and Operating Point Cases

You can use CFX to create operating maps (in some cases also known as performance maps), which show how simulation results vary against selected parameters. For example, you can create an operating map for a compressor with speed contours plotted for varying total pressure ratio and inlet mass flow rate.

Any particular set of parameter values defines an operating point. After solving a set of operating points, CFX constructs an operating map using output from the results.
