16.1. Object Creation and Deletion

You can create objects in CFD-Post by entering the CCL definition of the object into the Command Editor dialog box, or by reading the object definition from a session or state file. The object will be created and any associated graphics shown in the viewer.

You can modify an existing object by entering the object definition with the modified parameter settings into the Command Editor dialog box. Only those parameters that are to be changed need to be entered. All other parameters will remain unchanged.

There may be a significant degree of interaction between objects in CFD-Post. For example, a vector plot may depend on the location of an underlying plane, or an isosurface may depend on the definition of a CEL expression. If changes to one object affect other objects, the other objects will be updated automatically.

To delete an object, type >delete <ObjectName>. If you delete an object that is used by other objects, warnings will result, but the object will still be deleted.
