Example of Cut Planes presentation

Cut Planes is a type of field presentation, when the given shape is cut by a definite number of surfaces. These surfaces are colored according the values applied to the cells of the mesh.

To create a Cut Planes presentation:

– Right-click on one of the time stamps of the field in the Object browser and from the pop-up menu choose Cut Planes, or
– Click on one of the time stamps of the field in the Object browser and select from the main menu Visualization > Cut Planes, or click "Cut Planes" icon in the Visualization Toolbar.

  • Cut Planes tab allows to set additional parameters of your Cut Planes presentation:
    • Orientation check boxes allow to set the orientation of cut planes in 3D space. You should select two of three axis (XY, YZ, or ZX) in which your planes will be located in 3D space.
    • Rotations of the planes in 3d space around the axes of the selected orientation. (The angle of rotation is set in degrees)
    • Number of planes, which will form your presentation.
    • Position of each of the planes relative to other planes, which form your presentation. This value can be set by default, entered manually.
    • Displacement of the planes. This parameter defines the displacement of the planes into one or another side.
    • Show preview check box allows to edit the parameters of the presentation and simultaneously observe the preview of this presentation in the viewer.
    • Deformation allows to switch on/off deformation of the planes.
    • Vectors allows to choose a vectorial field for deformation.
    • Scale Factor allows to set the scaling ratio for all vector values.

After you have finished with setting these parameters, click OK. Your presentation with scalar bar will be immediately displayed in the viewer.
