  Hi,
  
  I would like to know that is there any ways to plot the heat flux contour in post processor? My case is a very simple case with the conduction heat transfer analysis on plate heat exchanger. I can only find the temperature gradients in total, X,Y and Z contour plot in post processor. I want to plot the heat flux contour in total, X,Y and Z. Thank you for your attention.

  There's a heat flux option under Wall Fluxes, check the exact definition before using though.
