Motion type in Flux

Introduction

This paragraph deals with the different modes of treatment of the motion in Flux.

Motion

Within the framework of a study, it is possible to take into account:

  • a motion:
    • of translation along a principal axis (X, Y or Z axes)

      (X, Y or Z axis) in 3D / Y axis only in 2D

    • of rotation around a principal axis (X, Y or Z axes)

      (X, Y or Z axis) in 3D / Z axis only in 2D

  • with one of the following technique:
    • sliding without re-meshing (the fixed part and the moving part slip one with respect to the other)
    • displacement with re-meshing (the moving part moves in the air area)

These different possibilities are summarized in the table below.
