Probe i

Ver: 1
 

DESCRIPTION

This menu sets the parameters of the i-th probe.
When a probe is defined, Polyflow creates, for each field of the current simulation, a probe file,
the name of which is formed as follows : <prefix of probe>_<field_short_name>.prb


OPTIONS

 
-1
 Upper level menu
Accepts current settings.
1
 Change prefix of probe files
Sets the prefix of all probe files that will be created.
2
 Change probe position 
Sets the coordinates where the user wants to record the values of the fields 
EXAMPLES If the prefix of the probe is 'myrun-1', if the simulation contains velocity, pressure and temperature fields,
polyflow solver will create the following files :
 
myrun-1_XYZ.prb for     coordinates field
myrun-1_UV.prb for     velocity field
myrun-1_P.prb for     pressure field
myrun-1_PSI.prb for     stream function field (2D only)
myrun-1_T.prb for     temperature field.
LIMITATIONS The probe files must be read within Polycurve.   SEE ALSO
