COMSOL 6.4 - Transparency

model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).create(<atag>,"Transparency");

model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).feature(<atag>).set(property,<value>);

model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).create(<atag>,"Transparency") adds transparency named <atag> as an attribute to a 3D plot named <ftag> or to a 2D plot named <ftag> and that is using a height expression attribute.

Table 7-177: Valid PropertIES for Transparency.

The description of the expression in expr, if descractive is on.

descractive

on | off

off

Add a description when input is expr.

expr

String

Model dependent

The transparency expression, if input is expr.

input

constant | expr

constant

Whether the transparency is constant or defined by the expression in expr.

mapping

auto | explicit

auto

auto to map the values of the expression to a transparency range, or explicit to use the value of the expression directly as transparency. Active when input is expr.

maxtransparency

double (0-1)

The value to map the maximum value of the expression to, where 0 means no transparency and 1 means fully transparent. Active when mapping is auto.

mintransparency

double (0-1)

The value to map the minimum value of the expression to, where 0 means no transparency and 1 means fully transparent. Active when mapping is auto.

rangevalueactive

on | off

off

Set a manual value range, if mapping is auto.

rangevaluemax

double

Model dependent

The maximum value of the manual value range, if rangevalueactive is on.

rangevaluemin

double

Model dependent

The minimum value of the manual value range, if rangevalueactive is on.

reverse

on | off

off

Whether to reverse the mapping of the transparency, if mapping is auto.

transparency

scalar between 0 and 1

0.5

The constant transparency, where 0 means no transparency and 1 makes the plot fully transparent. Active when input is constant.

transparencymode

linear | logarithmic

linear

Use linear or logarithmic transformation when mapping is auto.

uniformblending

scalar between 0 and 1

The Fresnel transmittance, where 0 means no transmittance and 1 means full transmittance.

unit

String

Model dependent

The unit to use for the expression in expr. If the old unit is not valid when the expression changes, the unit property is reset to default. Active when input is expr.
