Under the Data Visualization tab, the results of the thermal conductivity calculations can be graphically visualized in 2D-Cross section view or 3D-Rendering.

Directions that were selected when setting up the simulation were computed, and, thus, are available for visualization. Otherwise they are grayed out.

Click Load to load the computed temperature or heat flux field. If Write Heat Flux into Solution File was not checked, only the Temperature volume field is available. Otherwise, the heat flux components can be loaded, too.

The loaded volume field then can be visualized. The options available for visualization of 3D scalar or vector fields are explained in detail in the Visualization handbook of this User Guide.
