Introduction of background knowledge regarding flow physics and CFD as well as detailed information about the use of AcuSolve and what specific options do.
Collection of AcuSolve simulation cases for which results are compared against analytical or experimental results to demonstrate the accuracy
of AcuSolve results.
Under interactive mouse control, an additional set of transform controls can be accessed by pressing the Spacebar on your keyboard after clicking in the modeling window.
The Running Mouse mode causes the mouse to set objects into motion, and the current action will continue to perform
until the mouse button is released.
When the right mouse icon on the locked transforms toolbar is clicked, the remaining icons
on the toolbar, when clicked, translate, rotate or zoom your Object by a pre-specified amount
according to the settings on the Viewer Options panel.
The functionality is slightly different depending on whether you have a two or three-button mouse. On a three-button
mouse, the mapping of the icons to the mouse is simply left to right.
The Demotion setting determines whether objects in the modeling window are changed to simpler representations when interactive transforms are performed.
Support is available for the 3D connection 3D mice products including the SpaceExplorer, SpaceMouse Pro, SpaceNavigator
and Space Pilot products, giving you the ability to easily navigate and manipulate data with improved control and
agility.
When transforming the Dataset in relation to the World, the orientation is changed and the only way to restore the
original orientation is to click Reset.
The transform is specified by clicking M2 for XYZ rotation. When Object is Light, a light-wand appears on the axis
marker. This indicates the location of the light source.
The transform is specified by clicking M1 for XY translation within the plane of the graphics window, M2 is inactive
and M3 is used for scaling the embedded plot.
Due to the complexity involved in the formulas for some of the tutorials, formula restart files have been provided
to you and should be used when instructed during the tutorials.
When transforming the Dataset in relation to the World, the orientation is changed and the only way to restore the
original orientation is to click Reset.
When transforming the Dataset in relation to the World, the orientation is changed
and the only way to restore the original orientation is to click
Reset.
This will set the orientation back to that orientation which existed after the data was read in.
It will reset all World transforms done, it will not merely undo the most recent
action.
Object: World/Dataset Action: Multi-Transform
The transform is specified by clicking M1for XY translation, M2 for XYZ rotation and M3 for
magnification/scaling. Actions are performed relative to screen orientation, with
the exception of Dataset scaling, which is uniform about the dataset's local origin.
The hints on mouse button functionality appear as shown in the image below.
If the current Object is World, Dataset, Region, Surface or Light (but not Title or Legend or
Plot), and the current Action is Multi-Transform, then an additional set of
transform controls can be toggled by clicking the Spacebar on
your keyboard. This will change the icons and their behavior. Clicking the Spacebar again will return the icons to their previous state.
The toggle mode only functions if the modeling window is the window which
has focus. Depending on your computer settings, a window may need to be clicked to
gain focus. Quick-picking on an object (Shift-M1) will
normally cause the panel that comes up to have focus. You may need to click on the
modeling window to gain focus there for this feature to
work.
When the -fc command line option is used when running AcuFieldView,
the transform specification of the mouse buttons is changed. The FAST-like
transforms are accomplished by clicking M1 for XYZ rotation, M2 for
magnification/scaling and M3 for XY translation. Actions are performed relative to
screen orientation, with the exception of Dataset scaling, which is uniform about
the Dataset's local origin. In addition, the default demotion mode will be None and
the default tracking will change from Track to Running.
Again, recognize that you can use the Spacebar, when the modeling window has the mouse focus to toggle between the mouse
controls shown in the images above and below.
Object: World/Dataset Action: Locked Rotation
The transform is specified by clicking M1 for Y rotation, M2 for X rotation and M3 for Z
rotation. The rotations are performed relative to screen orientation. When Object is
World, the center of rotation is the center of viewing, which is the center of the
screen in X, Y and at a Z depth set by Locked Translation (see below). When Object
is Dataset, the center of rotation is the local origin of the current dataset.
Object: World/Dataset Action: Locked Translation
The transform is specified by clicking M1 for X translation, M2 for Y translation and M3 for Z
translation. The following actions are performed relative to screen orientation:
When Object is World and Perspective is turned off, Z translation is not apparent during interaction. However, this does affect the center of the Object which is apparent when rotating the Object. The Center button will move the World Object back so that the rotation center is at the middle of the World bounding box.
