The Stream toolset

A streamline is a curve that is instantaneously tangent to the velocity vector of the flow, and a stream is a set of streamlines that enable you to visualize the velocity or vorticity data in a fluid flow analysis. The Stream toolset is available only in the Visualization module.

This chapter explains how to use the Stream toolset to create, modify, and delete streams; display or hide them in the viewport; and customize several aspects of their appearance.
