/!\ Documentation updates are in progress – some mentions of 3D may still appear.
Point: definition (structure)
Definition
A point is defined by:
- a number
- a type
- specific characteristics belonging to a type
- its nature
Number
The number to identify the point is automatically allocated by Flux during the point creation.
Types of points
The different types of points and the characteristics useful for their description are gathered in the table below:
| Point defined by | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| its coordinates (parametric) | Coordinate system for definition | Local coordinates |
|
propagation from an other point |
Transformation which defines the propagation | Origin point |
Nature of points
A specific feature, called nature, is attached to the points. This attribute allows to set the following functions:
| Nature | The entity is taken into account for: | |
|---|---|---|
| the geometry | the mesh | |
| standard (STANDARD) | yes | yes |
| in air (IN_AIR) | no | yes |
| ignored (NO_EXIST) | no | no |
