Relaxation: definition (structure)
Definition
The entities Line Relaxation, Face Relaxation and Volume Relaxation are defined by:
- a name (and a comment)
- a color
- a value
Name
The name identifying the relaxation is given by the user when it is created.
A comment (optional) can be added to the name.
Value
The value of the coefficient of relaxation is given by the user. The table below describes the coefficient of relaxation:
| Value | Coefficient |
|---|---|
| Null * | r = 0 |
| Low | r = 0.25 |
| Medium | r = 0.50 |
| High | r = 0.75 |
| User | 0 < r < 1 |
| Inactive ** | - |
* The null relaxation imposes a uniform mesh on the entire geometric entity, considering as mesh density the smallest weights constituting its side.
** The inactivated relaxation permits to suppress the action of relaxation (equivalent to the empty field) over an entity during a local adjustment. The mesh is imposed by the weights of the entity sides (the points for a line).
