Surfaces in the VR Viewer

In the VR Viewer iso-surfaces are controlled through the Iso-surface toggle and Iso-surface Options dialog reached by left and right clicks on the icon.

Surfaces in PHOTON

SURFACE

------------------------------------ Photon Help ----

SU[rface] <variable> <direction> <value>.... generates a contour surface for a given value of a stored variable. The 'direction', may be 'X','Y' or 'Z', and specifies the planes over which the surface contours will be generated. Usually two out of three will need to be specified, to generate a cross-hatched surface,

eg. SURF P1 X 10.0
SURF P1 Y 10.0

will generate a contour surface for P1=10.0 in the X-Y plane.

SURFACE

------------------------------------ Photon Help ----

[Surface] activates the surface sub-menu to set a new streamline element to be drawn.


SURFACE CLEAR

------------------------------ Photon Help ----

SU[rface] C[lear]....clears all current surface elements, whether switched on or off.

See also : SURFACE, SURFACE DELETE, SURFACE OFF, SURFACE ON.


SURFACE DELETE

----------------------------- Photon Help ----

SU[rface] DE[lete]....clears the last vector element, whether switched on or off.

See also : SURFACE, SURFACE CLEAR, SURFACE OFF, SURFACE ON.


Surface No.

----------------------------- Su Photon Help ----

[Surface No.] is the sequence number of the SURFACE element in the stack. Typing in any valid number (the total number of SURFACE element) will pop up the corresponding SURFACE element and make it current. Only the attributes of the current SURFACE element can be modified.


SURFACE OFF

-------------------------------- Photon Help ----

SU[rface] OF[f] <element number>....switches off the specified surface element, which will not appear in subsequent plots until it has been switched on again.

See also : SURFACE, SURFACE CLEAR, SURFACE DELETE, SURFACE ON.


SURFACE-TO-SURFACE RADIATION

See lecture on this subject in PHOENICS Lectures


SURFACE ON

--------------------------------- Photon Help ----

SU[rface] ON <element number>....switches on the specified surface element, which will appear in subsequent plots.

See also : SURFACE, SURFACE CLEAR, SURFACE DELETE, SURFACE OFF.
