Chapter 3. Task Pages |  |
The analysis page provides tools to examine the state of the physical system modelled by a given mesh. The data can be output directly, for examination or plotting by other software, or it can be examined by one of the provided statistical tools.
The page itself is divided into four main sections, or panes, as shown in Figure 3.26. These are, clockwise from the upper left, the Output pane, the Domain pane, the Sampling pane, and Operation pane.
The Operation Pane selects one of the menu items from the OOF.Mesh.Analyze menu, and the remaining panes select arguments. The available samplings depend on the currently selected operation and domain.
At the bottom of the page, there is a Destination pull-down menu, which determines where the resulting data will be written, and a button. After all the panes have been set, the button runs the selected analysis menu item with the selected arguments.
This pane selections the output data which will be sampled on
the mesh. The result is one of the available output types. The buttons at
the top of the pane, labelled
ane , determine whether the
pull-down menus below them list the scalar outputs
(e.g, a component of a Field
or Flux) or aggregate outputs
(e.g, all of the components of
a Field or Flux).
The region or subset of the mesh on which the operation should be performed is selected here. The selection will be one of the Domain types.
Outputs cannot in general be evaluated directly on the domains, they have to be evaluated at particular points on the mesh, and depending on the desired operation, the resulting pointwise data may need to be combined in some way.
The pull-down menu in the sampling pane selects a set of points on which to evaluate the output, and the result is one of the SampleSet objects.
Note that the available sample sets will depend on the current settings of the Domain and Operation panes.
The operation pane determines what actually happens when the button is pressed. The operation is one of the OOF.Mesh.Analyze menu items.
The Destination pull-down menu determines where the data generated by the analysis tool will be written. Data can appear in the message window, in a previously specified file, or in a file picked from a file selector dialog brought up when New is selected from this menu. The menu also has a Clear capability, which will remove all the previously specified file names. This menu also appears on the Mesh Cross Section toolbox.
