CST2013: Circular Subvolume

Simulation: Mesh Global Properties Edit  Circular Subvolume

In this dialog box one may define a circular subvolume in a 2D mesh plane. If the number of segments is larger than one an azimuthal periodicity is automatically assumed.

The type of periodicity can be defined as well.

Note: The specified subvolume must not exceed the boundaries of the calculation domain.

Outer Radius

Set the outer radius of the circular subvolume.

Inner Radius

Set the inner radius of the circular subvolume. If this value is zero the subvolume is a simple circle segment without inner hole.

Axis Position

Sets the axis position inside the 2D mesh plane.

Type

Select the periodicity type. Periodic means that the field pattern simply repeats, whereas Antiperiodic causes a change of the sign for each repetition of a segment.

Segments

Sets the number of segments which build a full circle. Consequently the angle of a segment is: 360 / NumberOfSegments.

Angular Shift

Specifies an angular offset for the subvolume.

OK

Accepts the changes and closes the dialog. If changes were made, the mesh will be updated.

Cancel

Closes this dialog box without performing any further action.
