15.7.2. Initialization Three Views

If you double-click Initialization in the Turbo tree view, the Initialization editor appears and a Three Views toggle will be available. Selecting this toggle causes the viewer to show three viewports that have the following views:

  • A 3D View, which is described in 3D View Object, is the same as the standard viewer, with 3D manipulation available using the rotate, translate and zoom functions.

  • A Blade-to-Blade 2D view, which is described in Blade-to-Blade Object. The horizontal axis shows streamwise location and the vertical axis shows Theta. The 2D view enables translation, zoom, and rotation around the axis normal to the blade-to-blade view. Other rotations are not possible.

  • A Meridional 2D view, which is described in Meridional Object. The horizontal axis shows axial distance and the vertical axis shows the radius. The view will allow the same transformations as the blade-to-blade view, with rotation possible around the axis normal to the meridional view.

The three views listed above are also listed in the Turbo tree view as objects under Plots. The Blade-to-Blade and Meridional objects can be copied into the Outline tree view by right-clicking and selecting Promote to General Mode.
