Step 15: Volume Integral Reports

Reports Volume Integrals Set Up...

  Reports of Volume Integral can be used to determine the Volume of a particular fluid region (i.e. fluid zone), the sum of quantities or the maximum and minimum values of particular variables. Here we will use the Volume Integral reports to determine the maximum and minimum temperature in the chip, board, and the airflow.

1.   Select Maximum in the Report Type group box.

2.   Select Temperature... and Static Temperature from the Field Variable drop-down lists.

3.   Select solid-1 from the Cell Zones selection list.

4.   Click Compute to calculate the maximum temperature.

  The maximum temperature in the solid-1 cell zone (the chip) will be displayed.

5.   Select Minimum in the Report Type group box and click Compute.

  The minimum temperature will be displayed in the dialog box.

6.   Repeat the operations to determine the maximum and minimum temperatures in the solid-2 and fluid-8 cell zones, corresponding to the board and fluid volume, respectively.
