Now that you've run the simulation, we can take a look at the air as it flows through the enclosure.
1. Click the Output Bar button to give us more room to work.
2. To create a results plane, click Planes, and click Add.
3. To re-orient the plane, left click on it, and click Y.
4. Click the small arrow beside Edit, and click Vector Settings.
5. To enable vectors and make them look awesome:
6. To shade the entire model, click Visual Style from the Quick Access toolbar, and select Shaded.
7. To display the casing and air as outline:
8. To display component temperatures, click Global, and select Temperature from the Global Result menu.
Not bad! In just a few minutes, you ran a fairly complex 3D flow simulation and created a view that's awesome and useful.
