Description

Domain objects are part of the post-solution analysis framework, in which useful data is extracted from the Mesh. The Domain is the subset of the Mesh to which the sampling is applied. When the domain is set to PixelGroup, the sampling points are derived from the positions of the pixels in the group.

PixelGroup domains support sampling methods in the point and pixel categories.

The pixels parameter determines which pixels are used to define the domain. It is either the name of a pixel group or one of the placeholder objects, selection or all. selection indicates that the currently selected pixels should be used, and all indicates that all pixels in the Microstructure should be used.

	Note
	When using a PixelGroup domain and sampling by Pixels, the data is evaluated at the center of each pixel. When sampling on a grid, however, the grid is fit into the PixelGroup's bounding box, that is, the smallest rectangle that contains all of the pixels. This means that some of the sampling points might not lie on top of the specified pixels.
