Chapter 4: Reaction Path Analyzer

The Reaction Path Analyzer is a feature that has been incorporated into Ansys Chemkin to provide visualization of the inner workings of the chemistry model and to provide fundamental understanding of reaction mechanism dependencies. The pathways leading to the formation of species are presented in a single graphical interface that displays the relative importance of each reaction. The Reaction Path Analyzer is available as a post-processing option in the Analyze Results panel, for any Chemkin reactor model. After a successful simulation run, the option to select the Reaction Path Analyzer is available from the Analyze Results node on the project tree.
