Streamlines Display Settings dialog box
The options on the Streamlines Display Settings dialog box also appear on the Display tab of the Post View dialog box.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Velocity | Specifies the velocity results used to generate streamlines. |
| Seeds | Specifies the seed set used to generate streamlines. If no seed set is available, click Create. |
| No Data | Determines how to display data points where no data exists. Select from the following options:IgnoreIgnores data points for which data exists.Use ValueSubstitutes the specified value. Enter a value in the box. |
| Value Sharing | When more than one result is stored at a given node, determines which result to display:AverageDisplays the average value of all results at a node.MinimumDisplays the minimum result stored at each node.MaximumDisplays the maximum result stored at each node. |
| Style | Specifies the streamline style. Choose from the following:LineDisplays the streamline as a one-dimensional line. To specify the thickness of the line, from the Weight list, choose Thin, Normal, or Thick.RibbonDisplays each streamline as a constant-width ribbon, where the twist of the ribbon represents the vorticity of the flow.TubeDisplays each streamline as a tube, where the radius of the tube indicates the divergence of the flow.BubblesDisplays sphere markers along the streamline, at a specified Time Step. Bubbles are also used for animating steady-state streamlines. |
| Synchronized | Available only for streamline displays when the specified style is Bubbles.Controls the location of bubbles on each streamline relative to the other streamlines in the display. Choose from the following:UpstreamSynchronizes bubbles at the start points.DownstreamSynchronizes bubbles at the end points.At Seed PointSynchronizes bubbles at the seed points.Click the Color palette to change the edge color. |
| Time Step | Available only for streamline displays when the specified style is Bubbles.Specifies the time interval between successive bubbles on all streamlines in the display. |
| Size | Specifies the size of the streamline representation (ribbon, tube, or bubbles) as a percentage of model size or an absolute value in model units. |
| Color | Specifies the mark color. Choose from the following:ResultPlots the specified results set as a smooth contour along the streamline.Text ColorMatches the color of all marks or streamlines to the display text for the post view.SpecifiedLets you choose the color from the color palette. |
