Output Categories

Parameters

f
Function of x, y, and t. Type: A string defining a function of x, y, and t

Description

Compute a function of spatial coordinates x and y on a Mesh.

The function is evaluated by the Python interpreter, so it can contain any legal Python expressions. Any variables defined in the OOF2 Console window can be used in the function. For example, if you type

slope=3

in the Console, you can enter

slope*x + y

for f. The Python math library is also available. You could set f to

sin(x*y/100)

for example.
