Module: Boundary Conditions (Hexa) ()

Description:

The Boundary Conditions module visualizes boundary faces of a hexahedral grid for a finite elements simulation.

Visible faces are stored in an internal buffer similar to the Hexa Grid View module. Likewise, the selection domain can be restricted interactively by adjusting a selection box. Ctrl-clicking on a face makes it invisible.

Connections:

Data [required]
Unstructured hexahedral grid to be visualized.

Color field [optional]
An arbitrary scalar field used for pseudo-coloring.

Colormap [optional]
The colormap used for pseudo-coloring, only used when a color field is connected.

Texture [optional]
The texture field must be an HxUniformColorField3 2D slice. When connected, the texture is mapped onto the surface geometry along the texture normal axis. A transformation can be applied to the data to change the texture projection axis and texture coordinates scale. Note that texture projection override pseudo-color mode.

ROI [optional]
Optional connection to an object providing a region-of-interest, e.g., ROI Box. Only triangles inside this region will be visualized.

Ports:

Draw Style

This port is inherited from the View Base class and therefore the description will be found there. In contrast to other modules derived from the View Base class this module does not provide the possibility to consider vertex and direct normals. The triangles will always be drawn flat.

Colormap

This port becomes visible only if a scalar field has been connected to the ColorField port. For further details see section Colormap.

Texture wrap

Wrap mode used for the texture projection on the surface. There are two wrap modes: Repeat: The texture is repeated outside its 0-1 texture coordinate range. Clamp: Clamps texture coordinates to lie within 0-1 range.

Buffer

This port lets you add and remove highlighted triangles (being displayed in red wireframe) to an internal buffer. For a further description and for the functionality of each of the port buttons see View Base.

Boundary IDs

Lists of all Ids of the boundary faces which can be visualised.
