Analyzing the Injection Lubrication Results

After the injection lubrication simulation is complete, you analyze the results.

To analyze the results:
  1. In the Graphics window, click through the Gear Torque Monitor Plot and Position-Based Removed Particles 1 Monitor Plot tabs.
    The following plots display the evolution of gear torque and the accumulated number of removed particles against physical time:




    For the oil injection simulation, all particles stayed within the bounding box as well.

  2. Examine the velocity of the oil particles:
    1. Click the Oil Velocity tab.
    2. Click (Save-Restore-Select Views) and select Views > +Y > Up +Z.
    3. Select the Scenes > Oil Velocity > Scalar 1 > Scalar Field node and set Max to 30.0 m/s.
      The following screenshot shows the velocity of the oil particles:


  3. Examine the oil volume fraction on the gear and pinion:
    1. Click the Oil Volume Fraction tab.
    2. Click (Save-Restore-Select Views) and select Views > -X +Y +Z > Up +Z, then zoom in to obtain a view similar to the one shown below:


  4. Save the simulation.
