Since version 2026, Flux 3D and Flux PEEC are no longer available.
Please use SimLab to create a new 3D project or to import an existing Flux 3D project.
Please use SimLab to create a new PEEC project (not possible to import an existing Flux PEEC project).
/!\ Documentation updates are in progress – some mentions of 3D may still appear.
Periodicity: definition (structure)
Definition
The Periodicity entity is defined by:
- a name
- a type of periodicity
- position of periodicity planes
Name
The name to identify the periodicity is allocated automatically by Flux during the creation of this one.
The user cannot modify this name.
Types of periodicity: 2D domain
The periodicity types and the characteristics useful for their description are gathered in the table below.
| Translation | Included length | Offset position |
|---|---|---|
| along X | along the X axis | along the X axis |
| along Y | along the Y axis | along the Y axis |
| Rotation with angle | Included angle of the domain | Offset angle |
|---|---|---|
| about Z axis | about Z axis | with respect to the ZOX plane |
| Rotation with number of repetitions | Number of repetitions | Offset angle |
|---|---|---|
| about Z-axis | along Z | with respect to the ZOX plane |
Important
It is not possible to change the type of the periodicity by editing its dialog box.
To change the periodicity type:
- Delete the periodicity
- Create a new periodicity
Length and angle units
Length and angle units are those associated with the domain.
These units can be edited and modified in the dialog box of the Domain Type.
