Add a Cooling FEM Result

[Lorena.Rivas]

It will be interesting to add a plot that shows  "Cooling StreamLine Flow Lenght" (name based on compatitor)

I notice that a couple of times customers tends to request this type of result.

Hi Lorena,

I second the idea.

Do you have an example picture?

When I googled it, this was found on the on-line help:

Stream Line result plots the path of coolant in the cooling channels from entrance to end. Stream line can be used to evaluate the cooling efficiency and detect imbalance flow of coolant inside cooling channel. The density of stream lines indicates the coolant velocity and render is applied to compare local coolant status in advance.

•Flow Length: to show the distance from starting point (coolant entrance) to a specific location varying along the stream line.

•Total Velocity: to show the total velocity of coolant varying along the stream line. Total velocity is a scalar defined as the norm of velocity vector showing overall strength of the flow, considering all the components in x, y and z direction with Cartesian coordinate. Higher velocity in cooling channel will lead to greater pressure drop but better heat transfer and cooling efficiency.
