Visualization in 2D

General

Visualization of results helps to give a broader overview of the current state of the model during simulation.
The following packages include components with support for simulation result visualization:

  1. FuelSystem.Volumes
  2. FuelSystem.Pipes
  3. FuelSystem.Sources

Volumes

The package FuelSystem.Volumes includes three components that support visualization.

  • MultiportVolume
  • TwoPortVolume
  • SimpleTank


MultiportVolume and TwoPortVolume changes color depending on the amount of liquid and gas within the volume. Dark grey corresponds to liquid and bright grey to gas. See Figure 1.

Figure 1 - MultiportVolume visualization


The Tank model visualizes the liquid level within the tank. Liquid corresponds to dark grey and bright grey to gas. See Figure 2.

Pipes

The package FuelSystem.Pipes includes one component that supports visualization.

  • LumpedPipe

The component LumpedPipe has two arrows that show the flow direction. The bright arrow corresponds to gas mass flow and the dark to liquid mass flow. See Figure 3.

The length of these arrows are set by the parameters mflowMaxLiq_vis and mflowMaxGas_vis in the parameter dialog Advanced>Visualization.

Sources

The package FuelSystem.Sources includes three models that support visualization.

If the boundary condition contains liquid the background is dark grey, see Figure 4. Otherwise is bright as in Figure 5.
