Name

Here, you define the name of the style. You cannot leave this field empty; the chosen name must be unique, i.e. not identical to another existing name. Aside from these limitations, you are free to choose any name.

Places after decimal point

Number of post-decimal place holders, which are to be shown.

Thousands delimiter

The digits left of the decimal point will be grouped into thousands.

Show units

The appropriate units will be shown after each numerical value. The units can be adjusted in the Units tab of the Options dialog window.

Show result symbols

The appropriate symbol (dependent on the type of value) will be displayed before each numerical value.

Line

This setting group determines the properties of section lines (color, style, size and type).

Note that some of the lines cannot be shown when their thickness exceeds 0.394 mm.

End point markers

Here, you can determine how the ends of the section lines (object edge) should look like. There are two drop down lists that show the different possibilities.

Distance Line

This setting group determines the properties of distance lines (color, style, size and type).

Note that some of the lines cannot be shown when their thickness exceeds 0.394 mm.

Highlight Color

Here, you can determine how the ends of the distance lines should look like.

Distance

With this setting, you determine the separation between the distance line and the object border.

Heat Flux

With these settings, you determine whether the heat flux through the section lines should be taken into account when calculating the Ψ-values. Detailed physical explanations and commentaries can be found in the chapter on the Psi-value tool.

Furthermore, you can determine whether a warning should appear, if the sum of the heat flux values, through the section surface in relation to the heat flux value between the start and end point, reaches a critical value.

Temperature Difference

With these settings, you determine which temperature difference should be applied when calculating the Ψ-value if there are more than 2 boundary condition temperatures. Detailed physical explanations and commentaries can be found in the chapter on the Psi-Value tool.

If Maximum is selected, the greater temperature difference present at the start and end points will be used. If Minimum is selected, then the smaller difference will be used. You also have the possibility to set a user-defined temperature difference.

The temperature difference used for the calculation will be shown in the Ψ-value object.
