Streamline Displayer Properties

Color Mode

Controls the arrangement of colors.

 

Scalar (Default)

Colors the streamlines according to the selected scalar field function.

 

Constant

Adds the Color subnode to the displayer node to display surfaces using a custom color.

 

Region

Colors the surfaces by region.

     

Mode

Defines the style of streamline.

 

Lines

Shows streamlines in a linear format. This is the default setting.

 

Ribbons

Shows streamlines as flat bands. This format depicts the local vorticity of particles moving through flow. Unlike lines, ribbons provide surfaces that can be viewed clearly with the Surface Lighting feature.

 

Tubes

Shows streamlines as tubes. Tubes are more suitable for presentation purposes, since, unlike ribbons, they do not indicate particle orientation.

     

Orientation

Defines how ribbon streamlines are twisted. Only valid if the Mode property is set to Ribbons.

 

Normals

Normal twisting.

 

Angular Velocity

Use the angular velocity of the vector to twist then ribbon.

 

Vorticity

Use the local vorticity to twist the ribbon.

 

Rotation

Use rotation to twist the ribbon.

     

Width

Controls the size of the ribbons or tubes. The units are of the mesh imported into the simulation.

     

Streamline Displayer Expert Properties

Ignore Clip

Controls whether the parts in the displayer are affected by any enabled clip plane.

 

Ticked

Shows the parts unaffected by the clip plane.

 

Cleared

Shows the parts trimmed by the clip plane.

     

Lighting

Controls the lighting of the part. Accessing the property customizer opens the Lighting dialog.

     

Line Width

Adjusts the width in pixels of lines used in the display, depending on the type of displayer. For example, in a scalar displayer, this setting would be effective only if the Contour Style property were set to Line.

     

Opacity

Adjusts the transparency of the part. The settings range from 0.0 (completely invisible) to 1.0 (completely opaque). This allows you to show an overlay of different parts of the model.

     

Smooth Shade

Controls the transition between segments of the image.

 

Ticked

Makes the transitions smooth for a more realistic effect.

 

Cleared

Leaves this function off.

     

Transform

Selects a transform. None is the default selection. Additional selections would appear when you create new transforms.
