Decompose Vector Field

Functionality

This node generates three Scalar Fields by decomposing a Vector Field into it’s coordinates.

Inputs

This node has the following input:

• Field. The vector field to be decomposed. The input is mandatory.

Parameters

This node has the following parameter:

• Coordinates. This defines the coordinate system to be used. The available options are:

  • Cartesian. The vector field is decomposed into X, Y and Z fields.

  • Cylindrical. The vector field is decomposed into Rho, Phi and Z fields.

  • Spherical. The vector field is decomposed into Rho, Phi and Theta fields.

  The default mode is Cartesian.

  

Outputs

The names of the outputs depend on the Coordinates parameter:

• X / Rho / Rho. The first scalar field.

• Y / Phi / Phi. The second scalar field.

• Z / Z / Theta. The third scalar field.
