Free mechanical set: choices included in Flux

List of positions

The definition of the list of positions can be carried out in various manners in Flux: table of points, points on a path, points on a 2D grid or points on a 3D grid.

Choices

The available choices in Flux to define a list of positions and the necessary characteristics in Flux are presented in the table below and detailed in the following sections.

Choices Characteristics
Multi points
  • a table of positions
Path
  • a parametrized path f(s1)

  • the variation interval of the parameter s1: [s1min, s1max]

  • the number of points in the definition interval of the parameter s1
2D grid
  • a parametrized 2D grid f(s1, s2)
  • the variation intervals of the parameters s1 and s2: [s1min, s1max], [s2min, s2max]
  • the number of points in each of the definition intervals of the parameters s1 and s2
3D grid
  • a parametrized 3D grid f(s1, s2, s3)
  • the variation intervals of the parameters s1, s2 and s3: [s1min, s1max], [s2min, s2max], [s3min, s3max]
  • the number of points in each of the definition intervals of parameters s1, s2 and s3
