Evaluate Field Gradient

​

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.
