Scalar to Vector

Converts two scalar datasets to a single vector dataset. The specified scalar datasets can be either magnitude and direction or x and y components. To convert to vector do the following:

  • In the project explorer, select two scalar datasets.
    • Click on the first dataset, press and hold down the CTRL key, then click the second dataset.
  • Right-click on the selected datasets and select Scalars to Vector.
  • Select whether the datasets are magnitude and direction or x and y components.
  • Give the new vector dataset a name in the Dataset Name field.
  • Click Ok.

Vector to Scalar

Converts a single vector dataset into one or more scalar datasets. The resulting scalar datasets can be magnitude, direction, x or y components. To convert to scalar do the following:

  • In the project explorer, right click on a vector dataset and select Vector to Scalars.
  • Right click on the selected datasets and select Scalars to Vector.
  • Place checkbox's next to the datasets that you want to create.
  • Give the new scalar datasets a prefix in the Prefix field.
  • Click Ok.
