Particle (data set)

Create a particle data set.

Syntax

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"Particle");

model.result().dataset(<dtag>).set(property, <value>);

Description

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"Particle") creates a particle data set.

A particle data set is required to plot particle trajectories. The particle data set identifies the geometry in which the particle data is stored and the degrees of freedom which determine the position of each particle.

The following properties are available:

Table 7-62: Valid Property/Value Pairs for Particle Data Sets

Name	Value	Default	Description
solution	String	first available solution	The solution this data set refers to.
pgeomspec	manual | fromphysics	manual	The method of specifying the particle geometry and the names of the particle position degrees of freedom.
physicsinterface	none or the tag of a valid physics interface	none	The physics interface from which the particle geometry and the names of the particle position degrees of freedom are defined.
pgeom	String	pgeom	The geometry in which the particle degrees of freedom are defined. The correct name of this particle geometry is pgeom_<tag>, where <tag> is the name for the Particle Tracing interface node.
posdof	String array	mod1.qx, mod1.qy	The position degrees of freedom of the particles.
