how to display elevation on the free surface

yejungong · August 6, 2013, 02:58

Hello,

I am using waves2foam toolbox, and want to visualize my results as below from http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib/waves2Foam.

The contour plot is ploted at alpha1=0.5. But how I color it by the elevation?

Regards,
Yejun

Hi Yejun,

you can apply a Calculator filter on the contour and select the Z Coordinate (scalar group).

Best,

Pablo

You can also use the "Elevation" filter and tell it to colour along the axis or line of your choosing.
