We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

  To calculate the scalar value of the normal velocity on the plane: * Create a new variable (type scalar), e.g. VelNormPlane1 = ( Velocity u * Normal X + Velocity v * Normal Y + Velocity w * Normal Z) * (-1) * Use this new variable for export or display. To calculate the vector of the normal vector on this plane: * Create a new variable (type vector), e.g. VecNormPlane1 * Define its components to: X Component = VelNormPlane1 * Normal X * (-1) Y Component = VelNormPlane1 * Normal Y * (-1) Z Component = VelNormPlane1 * Normal Z * (-1)
