Streamline Window Settings
Streamline Window Settings
The Streamline Window Settings are located on the lower part of the streamlines menu. These are options that can be changed on a per window basis.
Note, the windows which streamline group start points are used in is set by the option on the Edit groups panel.
Streamlines can be calculated relative to the vector field, or the vector field (where this is available in the output data). The is a time averaged velocity over the previous states.
Multiple data components can be used with great effect for streamlines, for more information on multiple data components see DATA COMPONENTS - ADVANCED .
The Streamline Window Settings panel gives users the option to change Scalar 1 and Scalar 2 to different ICFD volume components, to activate and deactivate Scalar 1 and Scalar 2, and select whether the data component is displayed on ICFD Volumes and/or on Streamlines.
| CALCULATE BY | Select which velocity vector field is used to calculate streamlines. |
| DIRECTION | Streamlines can be displayed in BOTH directions from the start points, or only FORWARDS or BACKWARDS. |
| SCALAR 1 | Activate or deactivate Scalar 1, and change Scalar 1 to a different ICFD volume component. |
| SCALAR 2 | Activate or deactivate Scalar 2, and change Scalar 2 to a different ICFD volume component. |
| VOLUME | Select whether the above data component is displayed on ICFD Volumes. |
| STREAMLINES | Select whether the above data component is displayed on Streamlines. |
| STYLE | Streamlines can be displayed as a line or a tube (pending). |
| LINE WIDTH | The width of the streamlines. |
Streamlines can be contoured with a scalar data component in
,
and
plots. In other plotting modes the streamlines are rendered in grey.
Note, in
oud plots the cloud points are positioned at each step of the streamline.
