Attributes

Attribute	Summary
mesh	A mesh object is a named graphical entity in used to represent surface or volume meshes for visualization purposes. These objects allow users to control how mesh data is displayed, manipulated, or referenced in post-processing and visualization workflows.
contour	A contour object is a named graphical entity used to visualize scalar field data such as temperature, pressure, or velocity magnitude across surfaces or volumes. It maps numerical values to color gradients, helping users analyze flow behavior, gradients, and other physical phenomena.
vector	A vector object is a named graphics entity used to display vector fields such as velocity, force, or any directional quantity on specified surfaces. It visualizes both magnitude and direction using arrows or glyphs.
pathline	A pathlines object is a named graphical entity used to visualize the paths that fluid particles follow over time within a flow field. Unlike streamlines (which are instantaneous), pathlines are time-dependent and show the historical trajectory of particles.
particle_track	A particle tracks object is a named graphical visualization that displays the trajectory of discrete particles (or droplets, bubbles, etc.) tracked through the flow domain using the Discrete Phase Model (DPM). These tracks are computed based on forces such as drag, gravity, and other interactions with the continuous phase.
lic	A LIC object is a named graphics entity that visualizes flow direction and structure using Line Integral Convolution (LIC). LIC provides a dense, texture-based representation of a vector field (typically velocity) on a surface, producing a smooth and intuitive image of flow patterns especially useful in complex or turbulent regions.
olic	An OLIC object is a specialized visualization tool based on Oriented Line Integral Convolution. It enhances the standard LIC (Line Integral Convolution) by adding directional cues to the vector field, allowing users to interpret both direction and flow orientation rather than just structure.
volumes	A volume object is a named graphical entity that allows you to visualize scalar or vector fields within the volume of the domain, not just on surfaces. These objects are essential for analyzing internal flow behavior, gradients, and regions that may not be visible in surface-only plots.
colors	Settings related to colors and materials for surfaces and mesh.
lighting	Configure global and individual light settings for 3D graphics rendering.
picture	The hardcopy/save-picture options object.
views	Access controls for managing named camera views and display configurations.
windows	Manage all open graphics display windows.
raytracing_options	Configure lighting and visual effects for raytraced rendering.
pulse	Save pathline/particle tracks pulse object.
periodic_instances	Periodic instance objects are used to specify periodic repetition of surfaces.
display	Show selected graphics objects in the active window.
material	Add, Edit, Remove materials in case file.
