Evenly Spaced Surface Streamline Algorithm

The Evenly Spaced Surface Streamline algorithm uses a novel GPU-based technology to render evenly spaced surface streamlines in interactive real-time mode. This offers an optimal distribution of streamlines over a given surface.

The new algorithm offers a better visualization of results, as the streamline distribution is updated in real time as you manipulate the model, even when you zoom in on local areas.

The streamlines are calculated over an arbitrary vector field specified as a parameter (velocity, heat flux, and so on).

You can display streamlines in addition to flow trajectories and vector plots.
You graphics card driver must support OpenGL® 3.3. Update your driver, if necessary.
