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.
