Particle

Purpose:

The particle interface is used to simulate the gas generated to inflate airbags. The particles maybe have mass and momentum and act on the surfaces of the bag to expand it. A model can have several bags and the bags surface has porosity and vent holes for the gas to escape. Showing the particles and there movement helps to illustrate how the gas moves into and around the bag as it inflates. When a model including particles is loaded, the particle interface will be shown, or this interface can't be shown.

Function:

Basic: Operations of showing particles and changing particles' color and type in bags and gas mixtures.

Plot Velocity Distribution: Show the area of plotting velocity distribution function.

Particle Basic Info: Show bags information for the particle model.

Fringe: Show fringe plotting.

Vector: Show vector plotting.
