3D curve: New

Introduction

To post process the results, the user can trace local and global quantities in function of two others parameters on a 3D curve:

  • 3D curve (2D grid)
  • 3D curve (path + I/O parameter)
  • 3D curve (2 I/O parameters)

Create a 3D curve (2D grid)

To create a 3D Curve (2D grid):

Step Action
1

Open a dialog box New 3D curve (2D grid):

  • In the menu Curve point on 3D curve (2D grid) and click on New
→ A dialogue box Create … is opened
2 Enter a name and a comment (optional) associated with the 3D Curve
3 Select the desired support 2D Grid
4 Choose the region of computation to impose (optional)
5

Choose one or more quantities to represent on the Z axis :

  • Click in the 1st column on the desired usual quantity

  • Click in the 2nd column on one or more desired components

    (use the Ctrl+click to select more components)

  • Click on Add
→

The formulas corresponding to the chosen components will appear in the 3rd column.

There is also possibility to compose a formula (no defined in the list of proposed usual quantities) by opening beforehand the editor of formula by clicking in .
6 Validate by clicking on OK
→ The 3D curve (2D grid) is created and it appears in a new tab with the representation on a 3D graph.

Create a 3D curve (path + I/O parameter)

To create a 3D curve (path + I/O parameter):

Step Action
1

Open a dialogue box New 3D curve (path + I/O parameter):

  • In the menu Curve, point on a 3D curve (path + I/O parameter) and click on New
→ A dialogue box New… is opened.
2 Enter a name and a comment (optional) associated with the 3D curve
3 Select the support path desired on the X axis
4

Choose and define the pilot parameter :

  • Select the desired I/O parameter on the Y axis
  • Define the desired min and max limits of this parameter
  • Define the current value of the other parameters of this scenario (if any)
5
  • Define the current value of the other parameters of this scenario (if any)
6

Choose one or more quantities to represent on the Z axis :

  • Click in the 1st column on the desired usual quantity

  • Click in the 2nd column on one or more desired components

    (use the Ctrl+click to select more components)

  • Click on Add
→

The formulas corresponding to the chosen components will appear in the 3rd column.

There is also possibility to compose a formula (no defined in the list of proposed usual quantities) by opening beforehand the editor of formula by clicking in .
7 Validate by clicking on OK
→ The 3D curve (path + I/O parameter) is created and it appears in the new tab with the representation on a 3D graph.

Create a 3D curve ( 2 I/O parameters)

To create a 3D curve (two I/O parameters):

Step Action
1

Open a dialogue box New curve 3D (two I/O parameters):

  • In the menu Curve point on 3D curve (2 I/O parameters) and click on New
→ A dialogue box New… is opened.
2 Enter a name and a comment (optional) associated with the 3D curve
3

Choose and define the 1st pilot parameter:

  • Select the desired I/O parameter on the X axis

Define the desired min and max limits of this parameter
4

Choose and define the 2nd pilot parameter:

  • Select the desired I/O parameter on the Y axis

Define the desired min and max terminals of this parameter
5
  • Define the current value of the other parameters of this scenario (if any)
6

Choose the one or more quantities to represent on the Z axis :

  • Click in the 1st column on the desired usual quantity

  • Click in the 2nd column on one or more desired components

    (use the Ctrl+click to select several components)

  • Click on Add
→

The formulas corresponding to the chosen components will appear in the 3rd column.

There is also possibility to compose a formula (no defined in the list of proposed usual quantities) by opening beforehand the editor of formula by clicking in .
7 Validate by clicking on OK
→ The 3D curve (2 I/O parameters) is created and it appears in the new tab with the representation on a 3D graph.
