Objective:

Learn how to get a scalar field from a vector field

​
Applies to:

  • Design analysis, fields

​
Procedure:

To turn the Vector field into a Scalar field:
    • Open up the Property of the Field from Point Map block
      • Extract the Length Chip and input it into the Notebook (this is your scalar field)
The properties panel of a Field from Point Map block. The Length property chip is being extracted and placed into the notebook as a scalar field variable. Below is the image of the original Vector field: An image of the vector field of the brake pedal static analysis. Below is the image of the resulting Scalar field: An image of the scalar field of the brake pedal static analysis. And that’s it! You’ve successfully extracted a scalar field from a vector field.
