PART

A collector for one or many components used to toggle on and off views.

Syntax

PART(“name”) {parameters}

Qualifier

User-given name

Parameters

name (string)
User-given name of the command. The instance of a given command is referenced using this parameter.
show_boundary_names (string)
Comma separated list of boundary names to show.
Note: Boundary names can be matched using unix style wildcards. _all selects all boundaries. For uFX based datasets using Ensight files, the string should include a * after the part name to account for the spaces within that name string.
hide_boundary_names (string)
Comma separated list of boundary names to hide.
Note: Boundary names can be matched using unix style wildcards. _all selects all boundaries. For uFX based datasets using Ensight files, the string should include a * after the part name to account for the spaces within that name string.
display_type (enum)
Specify how to display the surface
Options: solid, mesh_lines, feature_lines, contour_lines, vectors
transparency (real)
Level of transparency
1 is fully transparent
color_type (enum)
Options: constant, contour
Method used to set the display color
contour_function (string)
Scalar quantity to be displayed on part (pressure, velocity, etc., see Calculate Context Help). Used with color_type=contour.
line_thickness (enum)
Thickness of lines for mesh display, feature line display and contour_line display type.
Options: thin, medium, thick
num_contours (integer)
Number of contour lines to be displayed when display_type=contour_lines
The limit is 500 contours.
contour_line_min (real)
Minimum value of the contour line range, when display_type=contour_lines
contour_line_max (real)
Maximum value of the contour line range, when display_type=contour_lines
contour_colormap_style (enum)
Type of contour coloring style, when color_type=contour.
Options: continuous (default) or filled.
contour_color_numbers (integer)
Number of discrete contour colors, when color_type=contour and contour_colormap_style=filled.
The default value is 12.
vector_subset (boolean)
Method used to subset the vectors displayed on the cut_plane, when display_type=vectors
vector_subset_percentage (integer)
Percentage of vectors to use, when display_type=vectors and vector_subset=on
vector_scale_factor (real)
Factor to scale vector tails by, when display_type=vectors
vector_length_type (enum)
Type of vector length scaling, when display_type=vectors
Options: magnitude, uniform
constant_color (enum)
Constant color of the part. Used with color_type=constant.
Options: white, green, blue, magenta, gray, yellow, light_blue, purple, red, black
legend_display (boolean)
Flag to toggle on or off the visibility of the legend
num_labels (integer)
Number of labels used in legend
legend_min (real)
Minimum value in legend
legend_max (real)
Maximum value in legend
legend_orientation (enum)
Specify orientation of the legend
Options: horizontal, vertical
legend_location (enum)
Location of the legend on the image
Options: top_left, top_center, top_right, bottom_left, bottom_center, bottom_right, center_left, center_right
legend_use_local (enum)
Boolean to control the local legend range. If active, will set for local entity range.
legend_title (string)
Legend name to be used for the provided contour function, defaults to internal name.
threshold_clipping (boolean)
Specify if the part should be clipped by the specified threshold
threshold_function (string)
Function to be used as threshold
threshold_min (real)
Minimum threshold value
threshold_max (real)
Maximum threshold value
colormap_name (enum)
Colormap name to use for displaying the scalar function values
Options: Cool to Warm, Cool to Warm (Extended), Black-Body Radiation, X Ray, Inferno, Black, Blue and White, Blue Orange, Viridis, Gray and Red, Linear Green, Cold and Hot, Blue – Green – Orange, Rainbow Desaturated, Yellow – Gray – Blue, Rainbow Uniform, Rainbow, Rainbow Legacy
