TransAT Tutorial Manual 10.3. Droplet Impact on a Flat Plate

Please note: clicking stops the optimisation process and restarts the simulation with the
best solution found by the process at that time i.e. the valid solution with the highest score. This
can help in reducing the duration of the optimisation process. Other methods that can reduce
the computation time of the SArP module are described in the Speeding up SArP section of the
TransAT User Manual.

10.3.9 Visualization of the results

The results of the simulation can be seen with the help of the Open-Source Visualisation Tool,
ParaView.

To launch ParaView, click Start and select All Programs > ParaView-4.0.1 > ParaView.

• Click File − > Open.

• Navigate to your project folder.

• Go to the RESULT folder and choose xy-droplet impact...vtm. Click OK

• Click in the Properties Panel, on the bottom left.

• Select variable DEN from the variables drop-down list to show the density distribution in
the domain.

• Clicking the rainbow button on the left shows the Legend. Clicking the double-arrow button
on its right rescales the color range to the data range.

• Play the animation by clicking the in the toolbar.

• To visualise the results at the end of the simulation, go to the last frame by hitting in
the toolbar. The expected final density distribution is displayed in Figure 10.16.

To get a rough idea about visualisation of TransAT results with ParaView, please refer to the
TransAT Paraview Tutorial .

More detailed information can also be found in the Paraview Tutorial on the ParaView website.
