Display vector results as arrows and streamlines

While your analysis is solving, you can generate arrows and streamlines in the Solution Control Monitor for velocity results.

1. Open the Solution Control Monitor.For more information, see Display real-time solution results.

2. On the Post View tab, in the Results group, from the Results Type list, select Velocity.

3. From the Display list, select Arrows or Streamlines.Arrows****Streamlines

4. (Optional) To modify how the arrows or streamlines are displayed, click Options to open the Arrows or Streamlines dialog boxes.For example, to modify the arrow display, do the following:In the Arrows dialog box, in the Scale Factor box, specify the scale of the arrow size, relative to the velocity results, and press Enter.In the Seed Ratio box, specify the distribution of arrows in the model, relative to the model size, and press Enter.Default arrow display****Increased scale factor and seed ratio

5. (Optional) To return to the default values, click Reset.

6. Click to close the Arrows dialog box.
