The
Dynamic Mesh Zones dialog box allows you to specify the motion of the dynamic zones in your model. See Section
11.3.9 for details.
Controls
Zone Names
contains the names of the zones in the model.
Type
contains the types of motion that can be specified for a dynamic zone.
Stationary
explicitly declares the zone as stationary, so that the nodes on this zone are excluded when updating the node positions. See Section
11.3.9 for more information.
Rigid Body
specifies the zone as having a rigid-body motion.
Deforming
specifies the zone as deforming.
User-Defined
enables you to specify a user-defined zone motion.
Dynamic Zones
contains a list of dynamic zones.
Motion Attributes
contains parameters to specify the motion attributes for a rigid-body-motion zone and a user-defined-motion zone.
Motion/UDF Profile
specifies the motion of the rigid body zone by selecting a profile or user-defined function from the See Section
7.6 and Section
11.3.4 for information on profiles, and see the separate
UDF Manual for information on user-defined functions.
Six DOF UDF
specifies the motion of a rigid body zone by selecting a profile or user-defined function from the drop-down list. This option is available only if Six DOF Solver is selected model.
Six DOF Solver Options
contains parameters for six DOF solver.
On
enables the use of six DOF solver.
Passive
(if enabled) does not take forces and moments on the zone into consideration.
Center of Gravity Location
contains the current values of the coordinates for the location of the C.G. of the selected zone. This item will appear only if the motion
Type is
Rigid Body, if
In-Cylinder is not enabled in the
Dynamic Mesh Parameters dialog box.
Center of Gravity Orientation
contains the current values of the coordinates for the orientation defined at the C.G. of the selected zone. This item will appear only if the motion
Type is
Rigid Body, if
In-Cylinder is not enabled in the
Dynamic Mesh Parameters dialog box.
Center of Gravity Velocity
specifies the velocity of the center of gravity with respect to inertia coordinate system. This option is available only if Six DOF Solver is the selected model.
Center of Gravity Angular Velocity
specifies the angular velocity of the center of gravity with respect to inertia coordinate system. This option is available only if Six DOF Solver is the selected model.
Lift/Stroke
contains the current value of valve lift or piston stroke which is automatically updated when you click
Create. This item will appear only if
In-Cylinder is enabled in the
Dynamic Mesh Parameters dialog box.
Valve/Position Axis
specifies the direction of the reference axis of the valves or piston for an in-cylinder problem. This item will appear only if
In-Cylinder is enabled in the
Dynamic Mesh task page.
Mesh Motion UDF
allows you to select the user-defined function that defines the geometry and motion of the zone. This item will appear only if the motion
Type is
User-Defined.
Geometry Definition
contains parameters to define a deforming zone.
Definition
allows you to select a geometry definition to project nodes of the deforming zone on. Available options are
faceted,
plane,
cylinder, and
user-defined.
Feature Detection
allows you to preserve features on deforming zones between the different face zones and within a face zone.
Include Features
includes features of a specific angle.
Feature Angle
specifies feature angle in degrees.
Point on Plane
allows you to specify the position of a point on the plane. This item will appear only when you select
plane for the
Definition.
Plane Normal
allows you to specify the direction of the plane normal. This item will appear only when you select
plane for the
Definition.
Cylinder Radius
allows you to specify the radius of the cylinder. This item will appear only when you select
cylinder for the
Definition.
Cylinder Origin
allows you to specify the location of the cylinder origin. This item will appear only when you select
cylinder for the
Definition.
Cylinder Axis
allows you to specify the direction of the cylinder axis. This item will appear only when you select
cylinder for the
Definition.
Geometry UDF
allows you to select a user-defined function for a geometry
Definition.
Meshing Options
contains parameters for various meshing options.
Adjacent Zone
contains the name of the adjacent zone which is involved in local remeshing or dynamic layering. This item will appear only if the zone type is
Stationary or
Rigid Body.
Cell Height
allows you to specify the ideal height of the adjacent cells as either a constant value or a compiled user-defined function. This item will appear only if the motion
Type is
Stationary,
Rigid Body, or
User-Defined.
Methods
contains options to specify the mesh update method(s) and controls on a zone by zone basis. These options and parameters will override those that you specified globally in the
Dynamic Mesh task page. This item will appear only if the motion
Type is
Deforming.
Smoothing
enables the smoothing mesh update method.
Layering
enables the layering mesh update method (valid for a prismatic cell zone only). This item will appear only if the zone you are defining is a cell (fluid) zone.
Remeshing
enables the remeshing mesh update method.
Zone Parameters
contains set of remeshing criteria, other than those you specified globally in the
Mesh Method Settings dialog box.
Minimum Length Scale
allows you to specify the minimum length scale for the zone. This item will appear only if the zone you are defining is a cell (fluid) zone.
Maximum Length Scale
allows you to specify the maximum length for the zone. This item will appear only if the zone you are defining is a cell (fluid) zone.
Maximum Skewness
allows you to specify the desired value for maximum skewness.
Smoothing Methods
contains two methods of smoothing.
Spring
enables spring-based smoothing method.
Laplace
enables Laplacian smoothing method.
Remeshing Methods
contains two methods of remeshing.
