Chapter 6. Reference |  |
The Output classes provide ways of
extracting data from Meshes. Different kinds
of Outputs produce different kinds of
data. Contour
plots, for example, display the results of a Scalar Output at
locations determined by a Position Output.
Outputs are used for graphical output by
some DisplayMethod classes,
for post-processing on the Analysis and Boundary Analysis pages,
and as data for
scheduled
outputs.
The three categories of outputs are
-
ScalarOutputs: These are Outputs whose result is a single number at each evaluation point. They are used as thewhatargument in the contour plotting commands, for example. -
PositionOutputs: These are Outputs whose result is a position. They are used as thewhereargument in plotting commands. -
AggregateOutputs: These are Outputs whose result is a (possibly) multidimensional object, such as aFieldorFlux. They are used when interactively queryingMeshdata with the Data Viewer. Many of theScalarOutputsare alsoAggregateOutputs.
