Creation of a spatial quantity by storage of values

Introduction

The user can create a spatial quantity in the postprocessing phase of a project by the calculus of a formula on a support (one of many regions). The numerical values corresponding to the chosen formula on the chosen support are stored in the newly created spatial quantity.

Conditions of use

This command is accessible only if the project is solved and only outside a multiphysics session. It permits the data exchanges without the need to use a multiphysics session.

Type of continuity

The user must choose a type of continuity of the spatial quantity between:

Format Description
Continuous quantity (storage at nodes) Storage of the values in the nodes of the domain
Region continuous quantities Storage of the values in the nodes of the region
Element continuous quantities Storage of the values in the nodes of the element

Create spatial quantity by storage

To create a tabulated spatial quantity by storage of values:

Step Action
1

In the menu Parameter/Quantity:

  • point on Spatial quantity
  • activate the command New (constant) tabulated spatial quantity by storage of values
A dialog box «New (constant) tabulated spatial quantity … » is opened
2 Choose the Name of the spatial quantity
3 Choose the Continuity type of the spatial quantity
4 Choose the spatial formula of the quantity to compute and to store
5 Choose the common unit to the spatial quantity
6 Choose the computation region(s)
