translate by data

The translate by data module accepts nearly any mesh and translates the grid in x, y, or z based upon either a nodal or cell data component or a constant.

The interface enables changing the Scale Factor for z translates to accommodate an overall z exaggeration in your applications. This module is most useful when used with the import vector gis module to properly place polygonal shapefile cells at the proper elevation.

Warning: The scale factor is always applied. If translating along any axis other than z, it is unlikely that you want to use the Z Exaggeration factor used elsewhere in your application.

• When translating by a Constant, the amount is affected by the Z Scale Factor.

• When translating by Cell Data, a radio box appears to allow specification of the cell data component

• When translating by Node Data, a radio box appears to allow specification of the nodal data component

Module Input Ports

• Z Scale [Number] Accepts Z Scale (vertical exaggeration).

Module Output Ports

• Z Scale [Number] Outputs Z Scale (vertical exaggeration) to other modules
• Output Field [Field] Outputs the subsetted field
• Scale Link
