Selecting this option and choosing a Profile Variable draws the boundary surface colored by the selected variable. The available variables depend on the settings on the Boundary Details and Sources tabs, as applicable. A legend appears by default showing the variable plotted on the boundary with a local range. You can turn off visibility for the legend and the plots by clearing the check box next to the boundary contour object associated with your boundary condition in the Outline tree view. You may have to click the + sign next to the boundary condition in order to view the contour object in the Outline tree view.

Selecting this option draws vectors at the nodes of the boundary surface, pointing in the direction specified by the Profile Vector Component setting. The availability of vectors (and this option) depends on the settings on the Boundary Details and Basic Settings tabs. For example, vector plots are available if you specify Basic Settings > Boundary Type as Inlet and the Boundary Details > Mass and Momentum option as velocity components.
