3D Page

The 3D page allows:

  1. Exploring interactively the segments of the model.
  2. Visualizing CFD results together with the flow map.

Interactive Exploration of the Model

In the Models page select the elements to be visualized in 3D. In the example below the Arteries and the Veins of the HEART HR model are selected for exploration:

PGEM 3D Exploration Selection

Activate the 3D PGEM3dButton button from the lateral task bar. The program will render the selected elements of the model and show them in the 3D page. The result is illustrated below:

PGEM 3D Exploration

CFD and Flow Map Visualization

  1. Activate the Manage OpenFOAM Local cases PGEMOpenFoamLocalButton button from the lateral task bar. A dialog window opens allowing the selection among the downloaded cases available locally on the file system:

The information related with the OpenFoam server is displayed on the top.

The list of the local cases is displayed in table format.

Action buttons are available at the bottom of the page. The functionalities are summarized in the table below:

PGEMCFDManagementRefreshButton

Allows refreshing the case list

PGEMCFDManagementLogs Button

 

Allows visualizing the logs file of the cases in the list. Its activation opens a window like illustrated below:

PGEMCFDManagementLOgButtonInterface

The window is organized on four pages which content can be Copy to Clipboard and paste in a text file.

PGEMCFDManagementErrorBUtton

Allows visualizing the error logs. Its activation opens a dialog window as shown below:

PGEMCFDManagementErrorsButtonInterface

The window is organized on four pages which content can be Copy to Clipboard and paste in a text file.

PGEMCFDManagementResidualsButton

Allows visualizing the residuals for one case selected in the list. A dialog window opens and shows the plotted residuals as illustrated below:

PGEMCFDManagementResidualButtonInterface

PGEMCFDManagementDeleteButton

Allows deleting the selected case from the list

PGEMOpenFoamMoveButton

Allows moving the selected entry from the list to a different location on the file system. Its activation opens a dialog window like illustrated below:

PGEMOpenFoamMoveBUttonInterface

The default path is To backup folder. The final location can be change using the Change file or directory button.

PGEMOpenFoamViewButton

Allows viewing the selected case from the list. When activated, an Image Display windows opens like illustrated below:

PGEMOpenFOAMViewButtonInterface

The image selector allows previewing one of the CFD outcomes: Geometry, Pressure or Velocity. The CFD outcomes can be saved as images in the Save section. Confirm selection with the OK button to send the CFD results directly to the 3D page for visualization and interactive inspection.

PGEMOpenFoamDirect3DButton

Allows viewing selected case results directly in the 3D page.

PGEMOpenFoamVelocityButton

Allows selecting which of the CFD results is initially shown on the Image Display page: Velocity, Pressure or Geometry.

PGEMOpenFoamResolutionButton

Allows setting the image resolution for the Image Display preview. The following selection is available: 64, 128, 256 and 512.

PGEMOpenFoamSugarBoxButton

Allows setting the size for the Sugar box to be displayed or not (NONE) in the 3D page:

PGEMOpenFoamSugarBoxSelectionButton

In the example below the change of the Pressure in time is shown for the aortic arch CFD Geometry:

PGEMPressureInGeometry

The change of Velocity through the same Geometry is illustrated below (different view point):
