How to use particle diameter in visualization parameter?

Chris Michalski Feb 13, 2015 1:34 PM

I'm looking to program some alternate visualization parameters for use with particle studies.

Has anybody ever figured out the names for particle properties to use in definitions?

Like if I wanted to define the Stokes Number of particles in Flow, it's a relatively simple definition of diameter, velocity, density, viscosity. But in all of the verbage I've tried I can't find how to get Flow to calculate a new parameter using a particle property as an input variable (diameter, velocity, etc).

Thanks.

i don't think that all parameters are accessible

i also don't think there is any documentation as to what parameters are available, you'll probably have to connect with your var and see if you can squeek one in due to lack of documentation

  Thanks Jared. I guess I'll just formulate it the opposite direction and have it display the largest particle that remains guided by the fluid trajectory. That's close enough for a Friday afternoon.
