Advanced Usage

Interactive IJK Clipping

You can interactively sweep through the range of the fixed dimension by adjusting a slider with the mouse.

  1. Double-click the desired IJK clip part in the Parts list.

  2. Change Interactive to Manual, to enable sweeping.

  3. Adjust the slider with the mouse.

Changing IJK Step Refinement

You can modify block-structured model parts to any level of IJK step refinement with proper updating of all dependent parts and variables.

  1. Double-click on a model part. This will bring up the Model Parts Feature Panel.


    Note:  This is no longer a clip dialog.


  2. Simply enter values into the From, To, and Step fields based on their Min and Max limits to update the refinement of the respective I, J, and/ or K mesh component directions. When you press Return or move to a new field, the part is updated. All dependent parts and variables will also be updated.

Clipping Plane Animation

Although you can interactively sweep an IJK clip through a mesh, it is sometimes desirable to have EnSight automatically calculate a series of IJK clips for you. These can then be replayed (as fast as your graphics hardware will permit) using EnSight's Flipbook Animation facility. See Create a Flipbook Animation for more information.
