Module: Magnitude ()

Description:

The Magnitude module computes the magnitude of the vectors of a vector field, i.e.,

These vectors might be located on regular or on irregular grids. Regular or complex vector fields are typically defined by uniform, stacked, rectilinear, or curvilinear coordinates. Vectors located on vertices of triangular surface meshes or tetrahedral grids are defined by irregular coordinates.

The result of Magnitude is a field of scalars, located at positions according to the underlying grid of the input data.

Press the Apply button to start the computation.

Connections:

Data [required]
Field or complex vector field defined on a regular grid (Lattice).

Vector field on an irregular grid, either specified by nodes of a surface, a tetrahedral or a hexahedral grid (SurfaceField, TetraData, HexaData).

Ports:

Number of Vectors

Shows number of input vectors and the vector dimension for computing the magnitude field.

Mode

Choose whether to compute the magnitude of the vector, its normal or tangential component relative to the primary surface normals. This port is only shown if a surface vectorfield has been connected.
