Advanced Options Streamlines

Results > Tools > Streamlines

The Advanced Options dialog allows you to specify a number of parameters which control how the streamlines are generated. From the streamlines dialog, click on Advanced button.

  • Integration
    • Integration method: Runge-Kutta2 - Second order Runge-Kutta integration scheme is followed.
    • Integration step length: Element-fraction - Fraction of local element size to be used as the step length for integration.

  • Decimation criteria

    Enable streamline decimation to reduce the memory consumption

    • Max break angle: Maximum break angle (in degrees) between consecutive streamline segments.
    • Max speed variation: Maximum variation of speed (in percentage of the average vector field over the domain) between consecutive streamline segments.
    • Max line segment length: Maximum streamline segment length in percentage of bounding box size.

  • Termination criteria
    • Max length: Maximum length of a single streamline.
    • Max number of steps: Maximum number of integration steps for a single streamline.
    • Terminate speed: Terminates the streamline integration if the speed is smaller than the percentage of the average vector (velocity) field over the domain.
