Contents
• This presentation shows some of the new features in PHOENICS 3.6
• The talk is in three parts:– General improvements (common to all modules)– Pre-processor (VR-Editor)– Post-processor (VR-Viewer)
![Page 3: 10 th International PHOENICS Conference PHOENICS 3.6 3-5 May 2004.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062909/5a4d1bb17f8b9ab0599ccbc4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
General Improvements
• In PHOENICS 3.6, the memory management for VR-Editor, Earth, VR-Viewer, PHOTON / AUTOPLOT and PINTO is handled dynamically.
• The need to recompile and relink just to have larger arrays has finally been banished.
![Page 4: 10 th International PHOENICS Conference PHOENICS 3.6 3-5 May 2004.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062909/5a4d1bb17f8b9ab0599ccbc4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
General Improvements
• Initial memory allocations are read from the CHAM.INI configuration file.
• If more memory is needed, each module will expand the relevant arrays as needed.

VR Editor Improvements• The control of multiple objects has been
eased by the introduction of the Object Management dialog.
• Any column can be sorted in ascending order.
![Page 6: 10 th International PHOENICS Conference PHOENICS 3.6 3-5 May 2004.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062909/5a4d1bb17f8b9ab0599ccbc4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
VR Editor Improvements
• A right-click brings up a context-dialog.
![Page 7: 10 th International PHOENICS Conference PHOENICS 3.6 3-5 May 2004.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062909/5a4d1bb17f8b9ab0599ccbc4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
VR Editor Improvements
• The dialog allows standard Windows multiple selection using shift and control.
• Multiple selections automatically make a temporary group.
• All selected objects can be moved together, have their colour and transparency set, and be revealed or hidden.
• Objects can be selected from the screen or from the Object management dialog, with mouse control turned on.

VR Editor Improvements
• Groups can be saved by clicking on Group / Save. There is no limit on the number of groups saved.
• Saved groups are written to Q1, and so are available in the next run.

VR Editor Improvements
• The Object dialog itself has been turned into a tabbed dialog.
![Page 10: 10 th International PHOENICS Conference PHOENICS 3.6 3-5 May 2004.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062909/5a4d1bb17f8b9ab0599ccbc4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
VR Editor Improvements
• A new object type ASSEMBLY has been introduced.
• The assembly object acts as a ‘container’ for any number of other objects, which go together to make a component.
• Objects are added to an assembly object through the Hierarchy dialog.

VR Editor Improvements• Components can be
added or removed from an assembly
![Page 12: 10 th International PHOENICS Conference PHOENICS 3.6 3-5 May 2004.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062909/5a4d1bb17f8b9ab0599ccbc4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
VR Editor Improvements
• All size and position changes made to the assembly object are also applied to all the components.
![Page 13: 10 th International PHOENICS Conference PHOENICS 3.6 3-5 May 2004.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062909/5a4d1bb17f8b9ab0599ccbc4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
VR Editor Improvements
• All the objects in the assembly can then be exported to a single file.
![Page 14: 10 th International PHOENICS Conference PHOENICS 3.6 3-5 May 2004.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062909/5a4d1bb17f8b9ab0599ccbc4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
VR Editor Improvements
• The saved assembly objects can then be imported into another model.
![Page 15: 10 th International PHOENICS Conference PHOENICS 3.6 3-5 May 2004.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062909/5a4d1bb17f8b9ab0599ccbc4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
VR Viewer Improvements
• The Object Management dialog is also present in the Viewer.
• It can turn the surface contouring on or off for the selected objects

VR Viewer Improvements
• A similar approach has been taken to Slice management.
• Slices can be turned on & off individually.
• They can be moved, and have their orientation changed.
![Page 17: 10 th International PHOENICS Conference PHOENICS 3.6 3-5 May 2004.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062909/5a4d1bb17f8b9ab0599ccbc4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
VR Viewer Improvements
• There is a Streamline management dialog
• Streamlines can be turned on & off individually
• The start location for each track can be changed
![Page 18: 10 th International PHOENICS Conference PHOENICS 3.6 3-5 May 2004.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062909/5a4d1bb17f8b9ab0599ccbc4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
VR Viewer Improvements
• Streamlines can be animated using balls or vectors.
![Page 19: 10 th International PHOENICS Conference PHOENICS 3.6 3-5 May 2004.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062909/5a4d1bb17f8b9ab0599ccbc4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
VR Viewer Improvements
• The control dialogs for Contours, Vectors, Iso-surfaces and Plot limits have been made into a single tabbed dialog.
• Several other small control dialogs have been amalgamated.
