Transformation parameters

Transformation parameters

Ver: 1

DESCRIPTION

The constraints related to a periodic boundary condition depends upon the geometrical transformation
that projects the 'inlet of the periodic condition' onto the 'outlet of the periodic condition'.
This menu allows for the definition of this geometrical transformation.

This transformation is always the combination of a rotation and a translation.

OPTIONS

-1 Accept current parameters

Accepts current set-up and returns to the upper level menu

1 Direct modification of rotation matrix

Allows to set all coefficients of the 2X2 (2D) or 3X3 (3D) matrix sequentially
Not available in axisymmetric tasks.

2 Direct modification of translation vector

Allows to set all components of the translation vector sequentially

3 Definition by source-target points

Allows to define the transformation by specifying the coordinates of 2(3) points and the coordinates of the points onto which the transformation project them.

4 Test of the transformation

Allows for testing the current transformation : the user specifies a point and polydata gives the result of the transformation when applied to that point.

NOTES

For axisymmetric tasks, the only valid transformation is a translation along the axis of symmetry.
