Baffle
Description
This is used to create particles for bodies that has baffles in it. Baffles are thin sections/sheet bodies.The input geometry can be CAD or FE models.
Particle spacingParticle spacing is the distance between adjacent particles in the global coordinate axis. The particles are uniformly distributed along the global XYZ axis.
Number of layers
Specified number of layers of particles are created inside the volume. If the input body does not contain any closed volume, initially particles will be formed enclosing the surface of this body and then particles will be added to guarantee the specified number of particles.
Example 1
Example 2
Created 4 layers of particles for thin bodies.
Ignore Particles
This option is used to ignore the particle creation in the normal direction of the selected faces.
Automatic Materials and Motions transfer
When generating particle mesh, if Materials and Motions are defined for the input bodies, the output particle bodies inherit the same materials and motions.
-
When an active SPH Flow Solution exists, the output particle bodies from the Baffle tool would be automatically added to the Solution Mesh bodies. If the Solution already contains the particle mesh for an input body, the particle mesh in the Solution would be replaced by the newly created particle body.
