convergence criterion amplitude excursion, either specified by you or automatically
determined by [Product] as a fraction of the goal's physical parameter amplitude
excursion over the analysis interval reckoned from the fourth iteration until one travel
is completed. The percentage of the goal's convergence criterion to the goal's real
amplitude excursion over the analysis interval is shown in the goal's convergence
progress bar (when the goal's real amplitude excursion becomes equal or smaller than
the goal's convergence criterion, the progress bar is replaced by word "Achieved").
Naturally, if the goal's real amplitude excursion oscillates, the progress bar oscillates
also, moreover, when a hard problem is solved, it can noticeably regress, in particular
from the "achieved" level. The calculation can finish if the iterations (in travels)
required for finishing the calculation have been performed, or if the goal convergence
criteria are satisfied before performing the required number of iterations. You can
specify other finishing conditions at your discretion.
To analyze the results in more detail let us use the various FloEFD results processing
tools. The best method for the visualization of how the fluid flows inside the enclosure is
to create flow trajectories.
Adjusting Model Transparency
Click View > Color and Appearance.
In the Appearance Editor click the plus button to add a
new appearance.
Go to Advanced tab and adjust transparency to about 80.
Click Apply and then Close.
 The first step for results processing is to create a
transparent view of the geometry, a ‘glass-body’. This way you can easily see where
cut planes etc. are located with respect to the geometry.
 In Creo Parametric click View > Model Display > Appearance Galery > More
Appearances. In the Appearance Editor adjust transparency to about 80.
Viewing Flow Trajectories
1 Right-click the Flow Trajectories icon and select Insert.
2 In the FloEFD Analysis click the External Inlet Fan1 item
to select the inner face of the INLET_LID.
