Vector Layer 10 - 1 Vector Variables When you activate the Vector zone layer (via the Sidebar), Tecplot 360 checks to see whether vector components have been assigned for the current dataset in the current plot type. If you have not assigned vector components, the Select Variables dialog will be launched (Figure 10-16). Figure 10-16. Select Variables dialog for the 3D Cartesian plot type. The dialog box for 2D Cartesian vector variables does not include W. Choose variables by selecting the desired U, V, and W (3D only) variables from their respective drop-downs. You may select any of the current dataset’s variables as any component. You can change the component variables at any time by choosing “Vector Variables” from the Vector submenu of the Plot menu. Once you have selected the Vector check box and have chosen your vector components, your vector plot will appear. If vectors are not visible, refer to Section 10 - 4 “Vector Length”. 264
