3.6.6 Point Properties Specific to Line Fiber Injections

In a line fiber injection the starting points of the fibers are arranged on a line at a constant distance (see Figure  3.6.4). You have to specify the coordinates of the starting point and the end point of this line. Click the Injection Point Properties tab in the Set Fiber Injection Properties dialog box (Figure  3.6.2). In the Points region, set the $x$, $y$, and $z$ coordinates in the x0, y0, and z0 fields for the starting point of the line and the $x$, $y$, and $z$ coordinates in the x1, y1, and z1 fields for the end point of the line. ( z0 and z1 will appear only for 3D problems.)

In addition to the coordinates, you have to set the number of fibers defined in the line injection by entering the appropriate value in the Point Density Edge1 field. Please see Figure  3.6.4 for an example of a line fiber injection with a Point Density Edge1 of 5.
