D3PLOT 22.1
Streamlines
Streamlines
Streamlines are available for ICFD Volume data from D3PLOT 14.0.
Streamlines are created in groups, see Edit groups . Streamlines can be displayed differently and use different data components in different windows, see Streamline Window Settings . Settings for all streamlines can be changed in Advanced options . For more information on how the streamlines are computed see Computational Methods .
Streamlines are displayed when the graphics window is refreshed. The streamlines menu can be dismiss by clicking .
| Reason for a streamline end | Any further action |
| The streamline reaches the ICFD Volume boundary. | None |
| The streamline is in an area where the velocity magnitude is less than the (see Advanced options ). | Message displayed in the dialogue box saying how many streamline(s) reach a stagnation point. |
| The streamline start point was outside the ICFD Volume domain. | Message displayed in the dialogue box the first time streamlines are computed for this state and streamline group saying how many streamline(s) are outside the domain. |
| The streamline computation is unable to identify where the next step is located. | Message displayed in the dialogue box saying how many streamline(s) could not be computed to the boundary. (This count does not include any streamlines in the above two categories.) It is recommended that the step size is reduced in the Advanced options . |
