LW - RF Particle Attribute Info

The "RF Particle Attribute Info" plugin provides information on the minimum and maximum values of particles attributes (like velocity, density, pressure, etc.) in the selected range of a RealFlow particle sequence. It can be opened from the "Additional" menu of the "Utilities" tab in "Layout".

 


How to add the "RF Particle Attribute Info" plugin.

 

The parameters are:

  • "File Path" is the path of one of the Real Flow particle files from the BIN sequence.
  • "Name" is a read-only field. The name of the particle system comes from the name of the RealFlow particle file and is recognized automatically when a particle file is opened
  • "Padding is the padding size of the Real Flow particle file and is recognized automatically when a particle file is opened,
  • "Start Frame" and "End Frame" are the start and end frames of the sequence.

The RealFlow particle sequence can be selected similar to the "RF Particle Import" plugin. The calculation can be started by pressing the "Calculate Min/Max" button. The calculated values are displayed in the fields at the bottom of the panel. There are four tabs:

  • "Velocity" provides the minimum / maximum values for each dimension of the velocity vector and the magnitude.
  • "Force" contains the minimum / maximum values for each dimension of the force vector and the magnitude.
  • "Vorticity" adds the minimum / maximum values for each dimension of the vorticity vector and the magnitude.
  • "Scalar" calculates minimum / maximum values for scalar attributes like density, pressure or temperature.

The calculated values can be exported to a TXT file with the "Export to TXT" button after the file path is selected.
