Description
SampleSet
objects are part of the
post-solution analysis framework, in
which useful data is extracted from the Mesh
. The
SampleSet
determines how data is extracted
from the sampling Domain. When
sampling
is set to
ElementSegmentSampleSet
, data is extracted
from evenly spaced points within a linear
Domain
on an element by element basis.
This guarantees that some sampling points lie within each Element
crossed by the Domain.
The ElementSegmentSampleSet
belongs to the
bent line SampleSet category.
n_points
determines the number of points along
the line within each Element
. The point spacing within each
Element is determined by the length of the intersection of the
line and the Element.
The show_distance
parameter governs whether or
not the distance of each point from the beginning of the cross
section will be displayed along with the
data. show_fraction
is similar, but the
distance displayed will be divided by the total length of the
line.
The show_x
and show_y
parameters govern whether the x and
y
positions of the points will be displayed along
with the data.
