Use a Poincaré Map plot (
) to visualize particle trajectories using a
Poincaré map (sometimes called a
first recurrence map). Add
Color Expression,
Material Appearance, and
Transparency subnodes as needed.
The Poincaré map is constructed by first defining a Cut Plane (
) on the
Particle dataset (
). Then add a
3D Plot Group or a
2D Plot Group, depending on the dimension of the particle trajectories, and right-click the plot group node to add these plots from the
More Plots submenu.
The Poincaré map parent plot group should point to this cut plane (select a Cut plane dataset under
Data). The resulting plot places a dot on the cut plane at the location where a particle crossed the plane. The same particle can cross the cut plane multiple times.
