4.11.4                    Sparse Mode

The button_thermal_sparsity2_setsparsity command under button_thermal_sparsity button in 2D Thermal tab and Switch->Sparsity->Set Sparsity Modeā€¦ command from main menu or context menu invoke Sparse Mode dialogue for setting space sparsity factor for Thermal Discrete display.

dialog_sparsemode

It allows setting density of data for Thermal Discrete display. For example, sparsity set to 3 means that the value at every third cell will be displayed, over a region of 3x3 cells. For values greater than one, this will be signalled by /Sparsity in the 2D/3D Fields Distribution window title bar. The same density will apply to every dimension.

Invoking this dialogue is enabled if Shape and Geometry optons are off.
