Define Volume Probes
Use the Probes tool to define volume probes.
When volume probes are defined, HyperMesh CFD writes all volume variables to disk at the request output interval.
-
Create volume probes.
-
From the Setup ribbon, click the
Output
tool.
-
From the secondary tool set, click the volume probes of the
Probes tool.
- Click in the modeling window to create probes.
-
From the Setup ribbon, click the
Output
tool.
- Optional:
Define volume probe settings in the microdialog.
-
Define the start iteration or start time.
To define the start time, see step 3 of Define Surface Probes.
-
Define the output interval, refinement level, or target
frequency.
To define the refinement level, see step 5 of Define Surface Probes. To define the target frequency, see step 6 of Define Surface Probes.
-
Define the start iteration or start time.
- Optional:
Import and export volume probes.
- From the legend in the top-left of the modeling window, right-click the active probe set and select Probes table from the context menu.
- In the dialog, select to import volume probes.
- In the dialog, select to export volume probes.
For more information, see Import, Export, and Edit Output Controls. - Optional:
Create probes from a rake.
For more information, see Create Volume Probes from Rake.
-
Change the color of probes.
- From the legend in the top-left of the modeling window, right-click the active probes and select Change color from the context menu.
-
Use the color picker to edit the color of the selected probes.
Tip: Create custom colors within the color picker by clicking .
-
Move probes in the modeling window.
- Select a probe.
- In the microdialog, select .
-
Use the graphical manipulators to move the probe.
-
From the guide bar, complete one of the following:
- Select to confirm your selection and continue creating sets of probe points.
- Select to confirm your selection and exit the tool.
