Insert Dimension

Dimensions can be added to describe spatial properties of the computational domain in the View Window using the Insert->Auxiliary Objects->Dimensions command, or the Dimensions command from the Insert Object part of the Domain Geometry version of the Edit Bar. One then needs to click on two points defining the computational domain and drag Dimensions to the required position.

After a command for defining a Dimension is selected, a user needs to first select by a cursor two existing points, the distance of which is to be labeled. The Edit Bar lists during this operation the two definition points and the Dimension number (Figure below left). After the second point is selected, a cursor in the View window and the Edit Bar (Figure below right) change and allow a user to define where a Dimension is to be displayed. In which plane a Dimension is to be displayed can be done on the Edit Bar (Figure below right).
