Frame
Type of frame
The tools available in the housing tab allow defining the frame topology.
Three choices are available to define this topology: None, Circular or Square.
By default, housing type is set to “None”. There is no frame.
        Important: When “None” is selected, accesses to
                    External cooling and Internal cooling environments are locked.
