\page revolution_page Revolution
|
|
|
|
\n Revolution is used to build mesh elements of plus one
|
|
dimension than the input ones. Boundary elements around generated
|
|
mesh of plus one dimension are additionally created. All created
|
|
elements can be automatically grouped. Revolution can be used to create
|
|
a \ref extrusion_struct "structured mesh from scratch".
|
|
See \ref extrusion_page page for general information on Revolution,
|
|
which can be viewed as extrusion along a circular path.
|
|
|
|
<em>To apply revolution:</em>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>From the \b Modification menu choose the \b Revolution item or click
|
|
<em>"Revolution"</em> button in the toolbar.
|
|
|
|
\image html image92.png
|
|
<center><em>"Revolution" button</em></center>
|
|
|
|
The following dialog will appear:
|
|
|
|
\image html revolution1.png
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>In this dialog:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Use \a Selection button to specify what you are going to
|
|
select at a given moment, \b Nodes, \b Edges or \b Faces.
|
|
\image html image120.png
|
|
<center><em>"Selection" button</em></center>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Specify \b Nodes, \b Edges and \b Faces, which will be revolved, by one
|
|
of following means:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>Select the whole mesh, sub-mesh or group</b> activating this
|
|
check-box.</li>
|
|
<li>Choose mesh elements with the mouse in the 3D Viewer. It is
|
|
possible to select a whole area with a mouse frame.</li>
|
|
<li>Input the element IDs directly in <b>Node IDs</b>, <b>Edge
|
|
IDs</b> and <b>Face IDs</b> fields. The selected elements will
|
|
be highlighted in the viewer, if the mesh is shown there.</li>
|
|
<li>Apply Filters. <b>Set filter</b> button allows to apply a
|
|
filter to the selection of elements. See more about filters in
|
|
the \ref filtering_elements "Selection filters" page.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Specify the \b Axis of revolution:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Specify the coordinates of the start \b Point of the
|
|
axis of revolution; either directly or by picking a node
|
|
in the Viewer (selection of nodes is activated as you click
|
|
the \a Selection button).</li>
|
|
<li>Specify the \b Vector of the axis in either of three ways:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>directly adjust vector components;</li>
|
|
<li>click \a Selection button, choose <em>From Origin to
|
|
selected Point</em> in the opened menu and pick a node
|
|
in the Viewer; </li>
|
|
<li>click \a Selection button, chose <em>Normal to
|
|
selected Face</em> in the opened menu and pick a mesh
|
|
face in the Viewer.</li>
|
|
</ul></ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Specify the \b Angle of revolution and the <b>Number of
|
|
steps </b> of revolution,
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> <b>Angle by Step</b> - the elements are revolved by the
|
|
specified angle at each step (i.e. for Angle=30 and Number of
|
|
Steps=3, the elements will be extruded by 30 degrees twice for a
|
|
total of 30*3=90)
|
|
\image html revolutionsn2.png "Example of Revolution with Angle by Step. Angle=30 and Number of Steps=3"
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li> <b>Total Angle</b> - the elements are revolved by the
|
|
specified angle only once and the number of steps defines the
|
|
number of iterations (i.e. for Angle=30 and Number of Steps=3,
|
|
the elements will be revolved by 30/3=10 degrees twice for a
|
|
total of 30).

|

|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Specify the \b Tolerance, which is used to detect nodes lying
|
|
on the axis of revolution.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Activate <b>Preview</b> check-box to see the result mesh in
|
|
the viewer.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>If you activate <b>Generate Groups</b> check-box, the <em>result elements</em>
|
|
created from <em>selected elements</em> contained in groups will be
|
|
included into new groups named by pattern "<old group
|
|
name>_rotated" and "<old group name>_top". For example if a
|
|
selected quadrangle is included in \a g_Faces group (see figures
|
|
below) then result hexahedra will be included in \a
|
|
g_Faces_rotated group and a quadrangle created at the "top" of
|
|
revolved mesh will be included in \a g_Faces_top group. <br>

|
|
<p> This check-box is active only if there are some groups in the mesh.

|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Click \b Apply or <b> Apply and Close</b> button to confirm the
|
|
operation.</li>

|
</ol>
