2.3.6. Running the Visualizer

Once you have completed the model run, you can use the Ansys Chemkin Visualizer to visualize the results. In this section we will just create one plot to demonstrate the workflow, before continuing on to expand our thermal-cycle model. To post-process the simulation run in the previous section, complete the following steps:

  1. Select Plot Results on the Analyze Results project panel and click the Next Step... button.

  2. At the Select Post-Processing Variables dialog, keep the defaults and click Process Solution Data. The Post-Processor Control Panel, showing selections for X and Y variables, will appear. Keep the PSR NO default for the X variable and select Volume as the Y variable. Keep defaults for Plot Style and Plot Target as well.

  3. Click Display Plot to create a plot of NO mole fraction vs. PSR number. Features and options of the Ansys Chemkin Visualizer are discussed in detail in the Chemkin Visualization Manual.

  4. Close the Visualizer screen when you are finished analyzing the results.
