Scalar Field, Points

Scalar Field, Point


About this Block

What it does: Returns a Vector that represents the rate of change along a Scalar Field at a specific location. Common uses:
  • Turning a field into a Vector Point Map.
Tips
  • To run the block, provide a Field and a Point (or Point List) in which to probe the Field values.
  • Turn the evaluated field gradient of Point Lists into a Point Map to visualize and analyze the results.
  • Similar to using the Field Viewer with the Probe Values option, but the returned value is a property.
