A discrete field is a spatially varying field where values are associated with a node or an element. The Discrete Field toolset allows you to create and manage discrete fields. This chapter covers the following topics:

• “Using the Discrete Field toolset,” Section 60.1

• “Creating discrete fields,” Section 60.2

• “Evaluating discrete fields,” Section 60.3

• “Creating discrete fields for material volume fractions,” Section 60.4
