Ring Shape Vis A
Visualization component for Ring Shape A temperature
Description
Connections
Parameters
See Also
The Ring Shape Vis A component is provided for visualizing temperature change of Ring Shape A. This component has same function as Ring Shape A when its Show Visualization option is true. The key difference between both components is that Ring Shape Vis A can be treated as multibody component. You can connect each frame of this component to the other frame of multibody component or the other Heat Transfer Library visualization component.
Note: If you use this component, you can visualize temperature change as colored geometry in 3-D Playback Window. To make this function available, you have to enable 3-D Animation option in Multibody Settings. The quality of the visualization is affected if any open plot windows are behind the 3-D Playback Window. If you are experiencing playback issues, try moving the 3-D Playback Window so that it does not overlap a plot window. Alternatively, minimize or close any open plot windows.
Example of use of visualization component
This is the simple example of visualization component model using Cuboid Shape Vis. You must connect heat port Tin[numNode] to port_center[numNode] of each Shape component and match both total numbers of vectorized ports. Then the following visualized geometry is displayed in the 3-D Playback Window.
It is the best to match the type of visualization component with that of the shape component. (For example, Cuboid Shape with Cuboid Shape Vis, or Cylindrical ShapeA with Cylindrical Shape Vis A.) Although it is not required to match both geometrical property values such as L, W, H, R, and D, you must match both Nodes value.
