Evolution on Point operation allows tracing the temporal evolution of a variable at a given point. It can be activated via the context menu on a field:
The availability of this operation in the context menu depends on the following conditions:
-
The selected field should be defined on the Node entity.
-
The selected field should have multiple time stamps.
The following dialog will be displayed (if the VTK view is active, the preview actor is also displayed):
-
Field - the name of the field given for information, it cannot be changed in the dialog.
-
Point - the point ID. It can be input manually or by selection of the point in the viewer (note that the point selection mode is turned on automatically by the Evolution on Point dialog).
-
Component - the name of the component (scalar mode). This control is enabled if there are multiple components in the field data.
Clicking OK button leads to the creation of Plot2d a view with an Evolution graph:
The X axis of the graph corresponds to the values of the time stamps, the Y axis - to the value of the selected field component at the specified point.
- Note:
- Evolution is automatically published to the study after clicking OK button. It can be restored by selecting the Show action in the context menu on the published object:
