Isolines (Surface Plot)
Procedure
- In the Parameter
list, select a parameter for which you
want to display isolines. - For vector parameters with the separately listed X, Y and Z
components you can select a Coordinate System
calculated. By default, the Global
Coordinate System is selected.You can replace the Global Coordinate System by selecting your coordinate system in the flyout FeatureManager design tree.To create a coordinate system, click Insert > Reference Geometry > Coordinate System.
- To
see how the parameter changes within a certain range, click Adjust Minimum and Maximum
button.Then specify the parameter Minimum
and Maximum 
values, which are the lowest and highest
values to be displayed.To automatically set Minimum or Maximum to the parameter lowest value in the whole computational domain, click Auto Scale to Global Minimum
or Auto Scale to Global Maximum 
.To automatically set Minimum or Maximum to the parameter lowest value in the plot, click Auto Scale to Plot Minimum
or Auto
Scale to Plot Maximum 
.Note:If the Auto Scale to Plot Minimum/Maximum mode is selected, the plot has its own color bar and the maximum and minimum values are updated accordingly to the displayed plot area when the plot is shown or exported.
- Specify the Number
of Levels
. - Specifies the Width
of the displayed isolines. - In the Color by
list, select the way to color isolines:If you want to display the isolines using a fixed color, select Fixed Color and click Color
button
to specify this color.If you want the isolines to be colored in accordance with the distribution of the parameter, select By Parameter.
