Surface Restricted Traces and Line Integral Convolution
=======================================================

Utilize EnSight to investigate two types of surface streamlines:

* Surface Restricted Traces (using Particle Trace)
* Line Integral Convolution (LIC)

This example works with EnSight version 24.2 or later.

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 18-22

Start an EnSight session
------------------------
Launch and connect to an instance of EnSight.
This example uses a local EnSight installation.

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 22-27

.. code-block:: Python

    from ansys.pyensight.core import LocalLauncher

    session = LocalLauncher().start()



.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 28-33

Load a dataset
--------------
Load Shuttle Session file included in the EnSight installation and render

.. code-block:: Python


    session.ensight.objs.ensxml_restore_file(

    session.show("image", width=800, height=600)

Using Particle Trace to create Surface Restricted Traces
--------------------------------------------------------
Using a Particle Trace capability
Parent Part and Emit part are the same part.
Surface Restriction is ON.

.. image:: /_static/05_srt_lic_1.png

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 50-67

.. code-block:: Python


    emitter_part = session.ensight.utils.parts.select_parts_by_dimension(2)
    parent_parts = emitter_part
    npts = 1500  # number of emitters

    SRTpart = session.ensight.utils.parts.create_particle_trace_from_parts(
        "SurfaceRestrictedTrace",
        "Momentum",
        parts=emitter_part,

        direction="+/-",
        surface_restrict=True,
        num_points=npts,
    )
    session.show("image", width=800, height=600)



.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 68-74

Change Visual Attributes
------------------------
 Modify the attributes of the Surface Restricted Traces to
 be visually closer to flourescene or titanium dioxide (experimental use)

.. image:: /_static/05_srt_lic_2.png

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 74-80

.. code-block:: Python


    SRTpart.colorbyrgb = [0, 1, 0]
    SRTpart.OPAQUENESS = 0.25
    session.show("image", width=800, height=600)



.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 81-90

Try Line Integral Convolution (LIC) instead
-------------------------------------------
 As we do not already have a near-surface, non-zero vector defined we need to create 'Offset' Variable.
 Create Offset Variable for Value of Momentum at 2.e-5 distance into fluid domain
 Specify Offset Variable as the variable for LIC
 Specify High Contrast and 1 length for LIC
 Specify that we want to see LIC for the Shuttle Surface

Close the session
-----------------
Close the connection and shut down the EnSight instance.
