22 - 3.3   Zone and Cell Information

Choosing the Zone/Cell Info tab in the Probe sidebar lists the following information about any probed data point, regardless of the format of the data.

The following information appears:

• The number and name of the probed zone.

• The format of the zone, either ordered or one of the finite element formats (FE-Triangle, FE-Quad, FE-Tetra or FE-Brick).

• The Current Solution time of the probed point.

For ordered zones, the following additional information is displayed:

• I-Max - Maximum I-index of the zone.

• J-Max - Maximum J-index of the zone.(J-Max is one for I-ordered data.)

• K-Max - Maximum K-index of the zone. (K-Max is one for IJ-ordered data).

• Plane - Shows the type of plane. I, J, or K displays the index of the point at the principal data point of the cell containing the probed point. (If the point is probed using Control-click for Nearest Point, the label reads "I,J or K-Index.")

• Face Plane - The I, J, or K-plane that is probed.

• Face Indices - The planes that are not mentioned in Face Plane, these are the other faces that are showing in 3D, or are the axes in 2D.

For cell-based finite element zones (FE-Triangle, FE-Quad, FE-Tetra or FE-Brick), the following additional information is displayed:

• Total Pts - Total number of points in the zone.

• Total Elems - Total number of elements (cells) in the zone.

• Node Num - Number of the probed node. This field is filled in only if the point is probed using Control-click for Nearest Point.

• Elem Num - Number of the probed element.

• Node 1 - 8 - Number of the node defining Node 1-8 of the cell.

• Node 4 -FE-Quad, FE-Tetra, and FE-Brick only.

• Node 5-8 - FE-Brick only.

The Probe At button opens the Probe At dialog (see Field Plot Probing by Specifying Coordinates and Indices).
