Gas Properties: Setting Display Attributes for Individual Gases

Gas properties: setting display attributes for individual gases

By default the settings above apply to all particles in all airbags in the active windows for the panel, and this is generally sufficient. However Particle Airbags may have several "gases" (NGAS on the input card) and it is possible to set display attributes on a per-gas basis.

Each airbag in the model will be listed together with the gases in the bag.

Selecting an attribute for the bag as a whole will propagate the selection down to all its gases, selecting attributes for an individual gas will only affect that gas.

The following attributes are controllable:

Gas id and
#particles

The number of particles "live" at the state current when the panel was mapped is shown.

This figure is not updated automatically as states change, but may be updated to the current state at any time by clicking on the Gas Properties button again.

Vis( ibility )

Whether or not the particles in this gas will be displayed.

By default all will be shown, but any gas may be switched on/off individually. Note that this is not the same as blanking particles, rather it is analogous to turning the "entity display switch" for the gas on or off.

Colour

Selects the colour for the particles in this gas.

By default all particles in a bag will inherit the colour of the airbag itself (as set via the Properties or Colour panels), but individual colours may be specified for each gas within a bag.

The colour option " By Gas id " may be used at the Bag level to set a range of colours for all gases in the bag automatically.

Leakage

Selects display based on leakage values.

By default all leakage states are shown, but any permutation of values may be set.

Note that selecting a global leakage value in the main options panel (as described above ) will propagate down to all active bags, overwriting any individual settings made here.
