# Outputs by Analysis Type

This document lists all the possible result outputs in terms of physical quantities/variables per analysis type after a simulation is performed in SimScale.

## Fluid Dynamics

The solver is OpenFOAM based and therefore results are exported as an OpenFOAM case file that can be downloaded and stored locally, and post-processed in 3rd party applications such as the opensource ParaView post-processor.

### Incompressible

#### Data Plots

Data plots are displayed as 2D plots on the platform with the field against time in the x. The plots can be downloaded in many types of images, but importantly, they can be downloaded as CSV files for further processing.

• Area averages and Area Integrals: All default fields.
• Probe points: All default fields.
• Forces and moments: Pressure, viscous and porous forces and moments on a selection of faces.
• Forces and moment coefficients: Lift, drag, and moment coefficients on a selection of faces.

### Compressible

#### Data Plots

• Area averages and Area Integrals: All default fields.
• Probe points: All default fields.
• Forces and moments: Pressure, viscous and porous forces and moments on a selection of faces.
• Forces and moment coefficients: Lift, drag, and moment coefficients on a selection of faces.

### Convective Heat Transfer

#### Data Plots

• Area averages and Area Integrals: All default fields.
• Probe points: All default fields.
• Forces and moments: Pressure, viscous and porous forces and moments on a selection of faces.
• Forces and moment coefficients: Lift, drag, and moment coefficients on a selection of faces.

### Conjugate Heat Transfer

#### Data Plots

• Area averages and Area Integrals: All default fields.
• Probe points: All default fields.

### Multiphase

#### Data Plots

• Area averages and Area Integrals: All default fields.
• Probe points: All default fields.
• Forces and moments: Pressure, viscous and porous forces and moments on a selection of faces.
• Forces and moment coefficients: Lift, drag, and moment coefficients on a selection of faces.

### Subsonic

#### Data Plots

• Area averages: Pressure, total pressure (mass averaged), volumetric flow rate, mass flow rate.
• Pressure difference between assigned inlet and outlet face.
• Forces and moments: Pressure and viscous forces and moments on a selection of faces. Power about the axis of rotation.

### Incompressible LBM

#### Fields

The incompressible LBM can also be downloaded, stored locally and post-processed in 3rd party post-processors such as the open-source ParaView. The export format for this solver is the encase format.

#### Data Plots

Data plots are displayed as 2D plots on the platform with the field against time in the x. The plots can be downloaded in many types of images, but importantly, they can be downloaded as CSV files for further processing. There are also options to do statistical analysis on the time-dependent data, including mean, max, min, standard deviation, and root mean square (RMS).

• Forces and moments, Pressure forces and moments on a selection of faces.
• Probe points: All default fields.

### Pedestrian Wind Comfort

#### Fields (overall)

The pedestrian wind comfort analysis type is based upon the incompressible LBM solver$$^1$$ and can also be downloaded, stored locally and post-processed in 3rd party post-processors such as the open-source ParaView. The export format for this solver is the encase format. These fields for pedestrian comfort will be interpolated 2D plots.

#### Results According To Comfort Criteria:

• Lawson (old)
• Lawson LDDC (London spec)
• NEN8100
• Davenport

## Solid Mechanics

The output results for solid mechanics analysis types are sophisticated and well explained in our standard document on result control for structural analysis:
