A Vector Plot is a collection of vectors drawn to show the direction and magnitude (optional) of a vector variable on a collection of points. These points, known as seeds, are defined by a location.
When post-processing a GGI simulation, the velocity vectors
can be plotted in the local frame of reference for each domain (Velocity Field Selection) or in the absolute frame of
reference for each domain (Velocity in a Stationary Frame). These two choices produce the same plot in all stationary frame
domains, but plot either the rotating frame or absolute frame velocity
vectors in domains that are in the rotating frame of reference.
The following characteristics of vectors will be discussed:
Note: There are several ways to insert a vector plot:
From the menu bar, select Insert > Vector.
From the toolbar, click the Vector
icon.Depending on the context, you may be able to perform an insert from the shortcut menu in the 3D Viewer.
