Hi All,

I cant find an explanation for .vtu file parameters like : vWSS, vinplane_traction etc..

Thanks

Hi Ella,

In the documentation website, there is no explanation for those parameters, as we thought they were self-explanatory in cardiovascular CFD. I can explain the parameters you mentioned as below:

vWSS: wall shear stress, "v" means velocity and the WSS is derived based on velocity.
vinplane_traction: similarly, it means traction calculated based on velocity.

Thanks,
Hongzhi
