Vector Plots

You can control the appearance of the vector symbols dynamically in a vector plot.

To customize a vector plot:

  1. After running your study, create a vector plot of the desired result.

  2. Right-click the vector plot icon and select Vector Plot Options.

The Vector Plot Options PropertyManager appears.

  1. Use the spin arrows to control the Size of the vector arrows.

  2. Use the spin arrows to adjust the Density of the vectors in the plot.

  3. If desired, check Surface only to plot the vectors on the model boundaries only.

  4. Select Match chart color to use the same color map used in the plot or Single color to use a single color for the vector plot. To change this color, click Edit color.

  5. Click OK .
