GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 42-52 Create a clip plane ------------------- Create a clip through the domain, at X = 0.75. We first call up the default clip part, set attributes, and then create the clip MESHPLANE sets the type of clip (e.g. X, Y, Z, R, T, Z, etc) TOOL sets the tool to create the clip from. VALUE is the location of the clip. DOMAIN controls intersection vs inside vs outside etc. Parent Part is named 'Part by All Elements' ..

GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 65-73 Create a Pathline Trace Emitting from the Clip Part --------------------------------------------------------- Using the 2D parts as the parent (model is 2d), with the "from Part" as the emission type "VITESSE" as the vector, and 25 points along the Clip line as emitter locations. We also setup to first emit the Pathlines at time = 4 seconds. and Emit NEW pathlines ever 20 seconds after that. (They will follow NEW path) .. image:: /_static/04_pathline_1.png ..
