A uniform rotation of the impeller around the z axis can be generated, whereby the velocity can be influenced by the track bar. |

Clipping
A clipping plane for x=const., y=const. or z=const. can be defined and optionally displayed. The position of the clipping plane can be adjusted by the track bar.

Selected impeller / stator with blades
Please note: The following options refer to the component currently selected in the 3D model tree.
|
Show only one blade
|
|
Switch Blade to blade section on/off
The display of an approximately perpendicularly flown through area between the hub and the shroud and two neighboring blades can be generated for the component currently selected in the model tree. In case the checkbox Fix to minimum is activated, the 3D-display of this area is shifted to the location of the minimum cross section. Otherwise, it can be slided to any reasonable position within the blade to blade channel with the help of the track bar Position.
By pressing the button Show progression a window is opened, in which the value of the cross section is displayed in dependence on the meridional position (0=leading edge, 1=trailing edge). The location of the actual 3D-display as well as that of the minimum cross section is marked with special symbols. |
