Flow Analysis export (eg. streamline) with color

[TomasCharvat]

1. Environment: CAD/IoT Education

2. Creo parametric version: Creo 7 and higher

3. Request: Add colors to simulation results export

4. Problem:  

Exported results (eg. streamlines) from Flow Analysis are not colored.

This export has potential to be useful primarily for AR but in present state is inapplicable.

• PVZ export is monochrome and also OBJ file.
• OBJ export does not create a MTL file, which commonly describe color of teselated surfaces .
  It is interesting that classic export to OBJ (File > Save As > Wavefront (.obj)) build a MTL file.

↑ Export location

Creo Parametric

↑ Simulation results

Creo View

↑ Monochromatic export

This half working functionality prevents to use and visualize simulation results in Creo View and also in Vuforia Studio (Augmented Reality).
