Basic Operation

  1. Select the 3D parent part.

  2. Open the Color dialog.

  3. Color by temperature.

  4. Set the Element Representation to Volume.

  5. Select how many structured sections will be used in the volume rendering of your part. Structured volume rendering creates a box clip will be created using uniform spacing through the parent parts. You control the number of samples that will be taken. In this technique your solution will be sampled onto a regular grid. This is now the only methodology supported for volume rendering.

Volume rendering is one of several element representations for a part. Results are generally loaded into EnSight by default in Border, Feature Angle, or Full representation. These representations include only point, line, or surface data. The volume element representation will activate volume rendering for a part. Just as for surfaces, the part color dialog can be used to control the color and opacity of the volume. You can color the volume by a scalar, vector, or vector component, and the colors will be assigned based on the palette.
