Frame

1. Type of frame

The tools available in the housing tab allow defining the frame topology.

Three choices are available to define this topology: None, Circular or Square.

By default, housing type is set to “None”. There is no frame.

Important note: When “None” is selected, accesses to External cooling and Internal cooling environments are locked.
