Post-processing of local (or spatial) quantities
Definition: reminder
The local (or spatial) quantities are the quantities directly accessible in each point of the computation domain.
It can be a question of the:
- magnetic field H, magnetic flux density B,… in case of a magnetic application
- electric potential V, electric field E,… in case of an electric application
- temperature T,… in case of a thermal application
Uses of local quantities
The local quantities can be:
- computed and graphically represented in different forms (color shade, arrow, lines,…), on different spatial supports (volume region, cutting plane, 2D or 3D grid,…)
- stored in the Flux project and exported under various formats (text.txt, Excel.xls)
Graphic representation
The local quantities can be computed and graphically represented in different forms (color shade, lines…), on different spatial supports (volume region, cutting plane, 2D grid, multipoint support…). These various options are presented in the table below.
Support | Menu | Quantity | Visualization |
---|---|---|---|
Face / volume / face region / volume region / cutting plane/ 2D grid / 3D grid | Isovalues | scalar | Color shades |
Arrows | vector |
Arrows (size / color variable) |
|
Path | Spatial curve | scalar |
Curve: quantity on a path |
Point | Point computation | scalar |
Disc (size / color variable) |
vector |
Arrows (size / color variable) |
Results storage (saving) and exportation
The local quantities can be stored in the Flux project and exported under different formats (excel, text, xml, etc.). These various options are presented in the table below.
