"Vector" Component

"Vector" Component

As well as simultaneously displaying 2 different Scalar components a separate Vector component can also be displayed.

This can be displayed separately using the VEC plotting mode (see Drawing commands that plot data), or it can be combined and drawn on top of the Scalar 1 and Scalar 2 components.

To make it easier to see the flow pattern a single colour can be used for the Vector arrows where the magnitude is proportional to the arrow length. This option can be found under the Vec Plots tab in the Contour Options menu (see Vec Plots)

If all 3 data components are defined then only Scalar 1 and Scalar 2 are displayed on the contour bar and the Vector Arrows will automatically be drawn using a single colour.
