Stream lines is a type of presentation transforming the cells with vectors having most similar direction into lines. A streamline can be thought of as the path that a massless particle takes in a vector field. Streamlines are used to convey the structure of a vector field.

To create a Stream lines presentation,

  • Select a field item in the Object Browser, and

  • Choose Presentations > Stream lines menu or click img_stl button in the Presentations toolbar.

As a result, Stream lines presentation is published in the Object Browser under selected field and displayed in the 3D Viewer.

  • Integration Direction: specifies in which direction(s) streamlines are generated.
