5.1.3.6 Reduced Domain

Reduced Domain

For large models, it can be difficult to graphically evaluate the results associated with specific locations. The Show Reduced Domain option enables you to view the results of a limited area within the wind tunnel. Activate this feature in the Display Options of the panel where you can also access the settings.

This option is available for all types of results except for surface pressure. With it, you can confine the graphical output to relevant parts of the model.

To adjust the size of the reduced domain box, select the Edit Reduced Domain option in the Results section of the panel. You can then modify the dimensions in the panel which provides the corresponding options. Alternatively, use the arrows displayed within the domain box to resize it. The functionality corresponds to the features described in the Chapter 'Wind Tunnel': when you hold the [Shift] key while moving an arrow, the box is modified symmetrically in the respective direction. By holding the [Ctrl] key, you can scale the area up or down uniformly in all three directions.
