Context: When you select the regions individually, Abaqus/CAE renders the fluid region as a solid cylinder and the inner wall and outer wall as thin hollow cylinders. If you choose to render both the inner wall and outer wall, a thick-walled cylinder is displayed. Temperature variation across the wall is visible on the end caps. When you render multiple regions, only the outermost region is visible on the surface of the cylinder; all the selected regions are rendered at the end caps. Figure 1 shows the nodal temperature (NT11) on the inner wall and outer wall of a fluid pipe. Abaqus/CAE renders thermal fluid pipe elements according to the current settings for color coding and translucency. When these settings change, the color and translucency of the thermal fluid pipe elements change as well. When thermal fluid pipe elements are displayed, Abaqus/CAE disables scaling and shrinking of the model. |
