How to Use Contour and Isosurface Plots to Visualize Results

Durée: 7:11
 

Contour and Isosurface plots are used in postprocessing to visualize scalar quantities and fields in your simulation results. Contour plots display your results on a series of colored regions or lines. Isosurface plots display your results on a set of colored surfaces where the results quantity is constant.

Watch this video to learn how to use these plot types to fit the needs of your COMSOL Multiphysics model. For the heat sink model shown here, we can add contours or isosurfaces to show the temperature changing with distance from the heat sink.
