Particle Plot

2D/3D Plot: Plot PropertiesProperties

You can use particle plots to display 3-dimensional trajectories of the charged particles. The trajectories will be shown colored, in order to visualize the corresponding speed/impulse of the particle. Use the context menu in the plot frame to open this dialog box.

Coloring type

Select the quantity that should be plotted:
Momentum, Gamma, Beta, Velocity, Energy

Particle sampling

Adjusts the number of plotted trajectories.

Time sampling

Adjusts the sampling rate of the trajectories, in order to improve the plot quality or plot performance.

Frames per second

Specify the speed of the animation in frames per second (frame rate). Each frame corresponds to a single time step. In cases where a large number of particles are visualized, the frame rate is not the only dominating factor of the animation velocity.

Time scale

Time scale slider

The time scale slider control offers the possibility to plot the trajectory at one defined time step. Press the Plot button to make changes visible.

Animate

Animates the trajectory plot to visualize the dynamic behavior of the particles. During the animation all parameters of the particle plot dialog box can be changed.

Stop

The animation can be stopped by pressing the Stop button.

Visualization

Do not show crashed particles
Hide trajectories of particles, that are already absorbed by solids or by model boundaries.

Show intersections with cutplane
Display the intersection points of trajectories and cutplane as circles.

Cutplane control

See Cutting Plane control.

Location

See Cutting Plane control.

Closes this dialog box without performing any further action.

Color ramp...

Choose a different coloring model for the trajectory data.

Specials...

Opens the Particle Plot Specials dialog box for further settings.

Export Bitmap

Exports a bitmap of the current trajectory plot named image.bmp in the directory "<example dir>\TrajectoryPlots\imageXXXX.bmp". The bitmap can be used to generate a trajectory movie for demonstration purposes.
