And from a color perspective, let’s go ahead and use a pressure, which is the first contour variable. Under scatter, I’m going to turn off the scatter for all but the particles and change the scatter shape to a sphere because that’s the way I want to look at it. If we wanted to quickly take a look at the particle information we’re going to go into zone styles and you can see here all the zones of interest.

If I hit play, you can see that what’s happening is that we’re actually mixing the solution.

This is the part of the mesh that Fluent is using as part of the solution. The bounding box is just to give me a quick view of the extent of the fluid domain. I could select all of them at once, but we’ll go ahead and do this one at a time. I’m going to turn off the shade and turn on the Mesh for the other zones as well. I’m going to make this panel of the mixer translucent by say 70% so we can see inside. I’m going to hide that so we can look inside. The one thing that we’re going to do is include particle data and you can see that what’s happening down on the status bars, we’re actually reading through and now we have all those data loaded. If I did want to specify options, I just have to click on the advanced options button and hit open. I’m going to select all of them here and I’m going to add to list and that’s just going to add them in here and I can at this point just click open. I didn’t bring all of them, but there’s about 30 plus. I brought in a representative number of time steps. We have a moving mesh and so we have CAS and DAP files for each time step.
