AutomatedFarfield

AutomatedFarfield#

class AutomatedFarfield[source]#

Bases: _FarfieldAllowingEnclosedEntities

Settings for automatic farfield volume zone generation.

Example

>>> fl.AutomatedFarfield(name="Farfield", method="auto")

Attributes

domain_type: Literal['half_body_positive_y', 'half_body_negative_y', 'full_body'], optional#

- half_body_positive_y: Trim to a half-model by slicing with the global Y=0 plane; keep the ‘+y’ side for meshing and simulation. - half_body_negative_y: Trim to a half-model by slicing with the global Y=0 plane; keep the ‘-y’ side for meshing and simulation. - full_body: Keep the full body for meshing and simulation without attempting to add symmetry planes. Warning: When using AutomatedFarfield or UserDefinedFarfield, setting domain_type overrides automatic symmetry plane detection.

Default:

None

enclosed_entities: EntityList[Surface, Cylinder, AxisymmetricBody, Sphere, CustomVolume], optional#

The surfaces/surface groups that are the interior boundaries of the farfield zone when defining custom volumes. - Only allowed when using one or more CustomZone(s) to define volume zone(s) in meshing parameters - Cylinder, AxisymmetricBody, Sphere entities must be associated with RotationVolume(s)

Default:

None

name: str, optional#
Default:

'Automated Farfield'

relative_size: float#

Radius of the far-field (semi)sphere/cylinder relative to the max dimension of the geometry bounding box.

Default:

50.0

Properties
