Latest revision as of 11:01, 8 April 2017

The method to create grid-based boundary conditions was changed in NairnMPM (April 2017) and OSParticulas (revision 1170) to the method using GridBC and <BCShape> blocks. As a result, all boundary condition commands listed below are deprecated. They still work, but should be replaced by new methods as described below.

Line (2D or Axisymmetric)

The command to select a line through a 2D mesh in scripted files: 

MoveLine (x1),(y1),(x2),(y2),<(tolerance)>
  (one or more velocity, temperature, or concentration condition)
EndMoveLine

should be replaced by (and note change in order of parameters): 

GridBC
  Line (x1),(x2),(y1),(y2),<(tolerance)>
  (one or more velocity, temperature, or concentration condition)
EndGridBC

In XML files, a line selected with: 

<BCLine units='(units)' x1='(x1)' y1='(y1)' x2='(x2)' y2='(y2)' tolerance='(tolerance)'>
  (one or more velocity, temperature, or concentration condition)
</BCLine>

should be replaced by: 

<BCShape>
  <Line x1='(x1)' y1='(y1)' x2='(x2)' y2='(y2)' tolerance='(tolerance)'>
  (one or more velocity, temperature, or concentration condition)
</BCShape>

Arc (2D or Axisymmetric)

The command to select an arc through a 2D mesh in scripted files: 

MoveArc (x1),(y1),(x2),(y2),(startAng),(endAng),<(tolerance)>
  (one or more velocity, temperature, or concentration condition)
EndMoveLine

should be replaced by (and note change in order of parameters): 

GridBC
  Arc (x1),(x2),(y1),(y2),(startAng),(endAng),<(tolerance)>
  (one or more velocity, temperature, or concentration condition)
EndGridBC

In XML files, an arc selected with: 

<BCArc units='(units)' x1='(x1)' y1='(y1)' x2='(x2)' y2='(y2)'
       start='(startAng)' end='(endAng)' tolerance='(tolerance)'>
  (one or more velocity, temperature, or concentration condition)
    ...
</BCLine>

should be replaced by 

<BCShape>
   <Arc x1='(x1)' y1='(y1)' x2='(x2)' y2='(y2)'
            start='(startAng)' end='(endAng)' tolerance='(tolerance)'>
  (one or more velocity, temperature, or concentration condition)
</BCShape>

Rectangle (2D or Axisymmetric)

The command to select a rectangle (which is only available in XML files) 

<LdRect xmin='(xmin)' xmax='(xmax)' ymin='(ymin)' ymax='(ymax)'>
  (one or more velocity, temperature, or concentration condition)
</LdRect>

should be replaced by 

<BCShape>
  <Rect xmin='(xmin)' xmax='(xmax)' ymin='(ymin)' ymax='(ymax)'>
  (one or more velocity, temperature, or concentration condition)
</BCShape >

Box or Cylinder (3D)

The command to select a 3D box or cylinder in scripted files: 

MoveBox (x1),(y1),(z1),(x2),(y2),(z2),<(axis)>
  (one or more velocity, temperature, or concentration condition)
EndMoveBox

should be replaced by (and note change in order of parameters): 

GridBC
  Box (x1),(x2),(y1),(y2),(z1),(z1)
  (one or more velocity, temperature, or concentration condition)
EndGridBC

In XML files, a box or cylinder is selected with: 

<BCBox units='(units)' xmin='(x1)' xmax='(x2)' ymin='(y1)' ymax='(y2)'
                       zmin='(z1)' zmax='(z2)' axis='(axis)'>
  (one or more velocity, temperature, or concentration condition)
</BCBox>

should be replaced by 

<BCShape>
   <Box units='(units)' xmin='(x1)' xmax='(x2)' ymin='(y1)' ymax='(y2)'
                       zmin='(z1)' zmax='(z2)' axis='(axis)'>
  (one or more velocity, temperature, or concentration condition)
</BCShape>
