Description
When this Examine function is selected, no diagnostic function is calculated for the selected entities. The Volume Condition function allows you to easily visualize surface and volume cells by their assigned CAE volume condition and provides controls to toggle individual volume condition rendering on and off.
Tip: The Volume Condition function is another good choice (in addition to Cell Type) when you wish to simply view the interior cells of domains or blocks. This function avoids computation costs that other functions might incur while still displaying the block's interior cells.
The Conditions frame provides a table which contains all volume conditions defined in the CAE, Set Volume Conditions panel. The first column shows the unique ID for each volume condition. The On column contains checkboxes which can be used to toggle the visibility of individual conditions. The Name column displays both the name of the volume condition (as it appears in the Set Volume Conditions panel) and the color by which cells belonging to that volume condition are colored in the Display window. The VC ID column displays the volume condition's ID as it appears in the Set Volume Conditions panel. Note that the VC ID is not required to be unique for each condition. Finally, the Count column displays the number of cells contained within each volume condition.
Note: The ID column in the Set Volume Conditions panel is an editable field and, depending on the CAE solver, multiple volume conditions may be allowed to have the same ID. In order to properly display volume conditions within Examine, each condition is given a separate unique ID (denoted in the first column of the Conditions table) and the ID assigned in the Set Volume Conditions panel is shown in the VC ID column for reference.
Use the All On and All Off buttons below the table to simultaneously toggle the visibility of all conditions either on or off, respectively. Use the Filter By Selection checkbox above the table to hide all CAE volume conditions that are not used by the currently selected entities.
Caution: The Volume Condition function is currently only supported within Examine and is not available when viewing persistent cuts outside of Examine.
