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.
- 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.
