Domain bearing a shell

Index Domain bearing a shell Ver: 1

DESCRIPTION

For addressing Blow Molding and Thermoforming problems, Polydata allows for defining computations that are actually performed on a shell i.e. a series of 2D elements in a 3D space. To define such a simulation, the user must build a 3D mesh, the actual computation domain being defined as one of the boundaries of one (or a group of) subdomain(s) of this 3D mesh.

The current menu allows for defining this group of subdomain(s).

OPTIONS

-2
Make the current domain empty

Cancels all previous sub-domain definitions.
In some situations, it is easier to build the domain of the current sub-task in "additive" rather than "substractive" mode.

-1
Upper level menu

0
Extension to the whole mesh

Complementary option to option -2

i
Removal of sub-domain i

Removes sub-domain "i" from the current domain of the sub-task

j
Addition of sub-domain j

Adds sub-domain "i" from the current domain of the sub-task
