Slices with pseudocolor plots of velocity components

[CEM ALBUKREK]

In the VSPAero Viewer, I am trying to generate pseudocolor plots of the velocity components, just like the default plots for Cp. As the velocity vector is visible in the quiver plots, what I am trying to do should be trivial, but I am not finding any way to do this.

Any pointers are appreciated.

Thanks

Right now, the viewer is only set up to plot Cp.  This is closely related to velocity - just in different scale.  You could likely modify the viewer to plot velocity instead.

Alternatively, there is an experimental python tool for working with VSPAERO output.  It includes a visualization tool.  I played with it a while ago, put it on GitHub and made an announcement -- but nobody seems to have shown any interest in it.

That might be another place you could start playing.

Thank you very much, Rob. I will look into the package. In the meanwhile I used thr sampling feature to extract a subset of the values I needed.

Best
