Whirl
Create a whirl plot in a 3D plot group. This plot type is only available with a license for the Rotordynamics Module.
Syntax
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"Whirl");
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property, <value>);
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).run();
Description
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"Whirl") creates a whirl plot feature named <ftag> belonging to the plot group <pgtag>.
The whirl plot creates a plot of the mode shapes of a rotor rotated about the rotor axis at discrete rotation intervals.
The following properties are available:
The color table to use. See Color Tables for a list of color tables.
none | parent | dataset name
The description of the expression in expr. Is used in the automatic title.
on | off
on | off
linpoint | harmonic | lintotal | lintotalavg | lintotalrms | lintotalpeak
on | off
If inheritplot is not none: Determines if the color is inherited.
none | plot name
If inheritplot is not none: Determines if the tube radius scale is inherited.
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.
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.
off | pprint | ppr
The element refinement to use, if resolution is set to manual. Bear in mind that this is the refinement used for the base dataset, so the number of elements in the model can increase radically if the plot uses, for example, a revolve dataset.
norefine | coarse | normal | fine | finer | extrafine | custom
custom | black | blue | cyan | gray | green | magenta | red | white | yellow
none | material | internal | everywhere | expression
Smoothing settings. With material, smoothing is done inside domains with the same material. With internal, smoothing is done inside geometry domains. With expression, the smoothing is based on the expression in smoothexpr.
The expression to use for smoothing when smooth is set to expression.
The index of the solution to use. Available when data is not parent and the underlying data has multiple solutions.
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.
manual | none
Threshold value (0–1), if threshold is set to manual.
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.
If true, tuberadiusscale is used, otherwise the scale factor is computed automatically.
