model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"ArrowSurface");
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"ArrowLine");
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"ArrowPoint");

Description
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"Arrow...") creates an arrow plot feature named <ftag>.
Arrow plots are available in 2D and 3D. ArrowPoint plots arrows at points in 2D or 3D. ArrowLine plots arrows on lines in 2D or 3D such as geometry boundaries in 2D or cut plane edges in 3D. ArrowSurface plots arrows on surfaces in 2D or 3D. ArrowVolume plots arrows in a 3D volume.
The following properties are available:
head | tail | center
normalized | proportional | logarithmic
arrow | arrowhead | cone | double
number | coord

number | coord
custom | black | blue | cyan | gray | green | magenta | red | white | yellow
{1,0,0} or last used color.
none | parent | dataset name
The description of the expressions in expr. Is used in the automatic title.

linpoint | harmonic | lintotal | lintotalavg | lintotalrms | lintotalpeak
If placement is gausspoints: The Gauss point order.
If inheritplot is not none: Determines if arrow scale is inherited.
If inheritplot is not none: Determines if the color is inherited.
none | plot name
Time corresponding to last selected solnum for transient levels.
The time to use, for transient levels. Available when data is not parent and the underlying data is transient.
If arrowlength is logarithmic: The ratio between the maximum arrow length and the arrow length below which no arrow is drawn.
The index of the solution to use, per level, or interp, but only for transient solutions. Available when data is not parent and the underlying data has multiple solutions.
The maximum number of points for arrow plots where placement is set to elements or gausspoints for ArrowVolume in 3D and Arrow Surface in 2D.
elements | grid | uniform | uniformanis | gausspoints
uniform (grid for ArrowVolume in 3D and ArrowSurface in 2D)
If uniform, then the arrows are distributed uniformly. If uniformanisotropic, then the arrows are distributed uniformly with weights taken from the weight property. If elements, then arrows are drawn in the mesh nodes for each element. If gausspoints, then the arrows are drawn in the Gauss points (of order set as gporder). The uniform and uniformanisotropic options are only available for ArrowEdge in 2D and 3D and for ArrowSurface in 3D. The grid option is only available for ArrowVolume in 3D and Arrow Surface in 2D.
cutplane | cartesian
all | normal | tangential
Choose to plot arrows that represent all components of the vector in expr or only its normal or tangential components. Available for ArrowSurface in 3D.
cylindrical | cartesian
If scaleactive is true: The length scale factor.
The index of the solution to use. Available when data is not parent and the underlying data has multiple solutions.
solnum | solutioninfo
manual | parent
If data is a local dataset with nontrivial data, specify solutions manually or take them from the parent plot group.
The time to use, for transient problems. Available when data is not parent and the underlying data is transient.
on | off
on if t is used to determine time steps; off if solnum is used.
The title to use when titletype is manual.
auto | custom | label | manual | none
auto, if the title should be computed automatically. custom, if the title should be computed automatically, but customized. label, if the title should be the plot group’s label. manual, if the manual title should be used (the title property). none, if no title should be displayed.
