AIM Attributes

The following list of attributes are available to guide the mesh generation with the Pointwise AIM.

Key Value Geometry Location Description
PW:NodeSpacing > 0.0 Node Specified connector endpoint spacing for a node.
PW:ConnectorMaxEdge > 0.0 Edge Maximum Edge Length in connector.
PW:ConnectorEndSpacing > 0.0 Edge Specified connector endpoint spacing.
PW:ConnectorDimension > 0 Edge Specify connector dimension.
PW:ConnectorAverageDS > 0.0 Edge Specified average delta spacing for connector dimension.
PW:ConnectorMaxAngle [ 0, 180 ) Edge Connector Maximum Angle. (0.0 = NOT APPLIED)
PW:ConnectorMaxDeviation [ 0, infinity ) Edge Connector Maximum Deviation. (0.0 = NOT APPLIED)
PW:Name Set by pointwiseAIM to the value of capsGroup Face Boundary name for domain or collection of domains.
PW:QuiltName Quilting is not supported with CAPS, but input files are generated Face Name to give one or more quilts that are assembled into a single quilt.
No angle test is performed.
PW:Baffle $Baffle or $Intersect Face Either a true baffle surface or a surface intersected by a baffle.
PW:DomainAlgorithm $Delaunay, $AdvancingFront, $AdvancingFrontOrtho Face Surface meshing algorithm.
PW:DomainIsoType $Triangle, $TriangleQuad Face Surface cell type. Global default is Triangle.
PW:DomainMinEdge > 0.0 Face Cell Minimum Equilateral Edge Length in domain. (0.0 = USE BOUNDARY)
PW:DomainMaxEdge > 0.0 Face Cell Maximum Equilateral Edge Length in domain. (0.0 = USE BOUNDARY)
PW:DomainMaxAngle [ 0, 180 ) Face Cell Maximum Angle in domain (0.0 = NOT APPLIED)
PW:DomainMaxDeviation [ 0, infinity ) Face Cell Maximum Deviation in domain (0.0 = NOT APPLIED)
PW:DomainSwapCells $true or $false Face Swap cells with no interior points.
PW:DomainQuadMaxAngle ( 90, 180 ) Face Quad Maximum Included Angle in domain.
PW:DomainQuadMaxWarp ( 0, 90 ) Face Cell Maximum Warp Angle in domain.
PW:DomainDecay [ 0, 1 ] Face Boundary decay applied on domain.
PW:DomainMaxLayers [ 0, infinity ) Face Maximum T-Rex layers in domain.
PW:DomainFullLayers [ 0, infinity ) Face Number of full T-Rex layers in domain. (0 allows multi-normals)
PW:DomainTRexGrowthRate [ 1, infinity ) Face T-Rex growth rate in domain.
PW:DomainTRexType $Triangle, $TriangleQuad Face Cell types in T-Rex layers in domain.
PW:DomainTRexIsoHeight > 0.0 Face Isotropic height for T-Rex cells in domain. Default is 1.0.
PW:PeriodicTranslate "tx; ty; tz" Face Periodic domain with given translation vector.
PW:PeriodicRotate "px; py; pz; nx; ny; nz; angle" Face Periodic domain with given point, normal and rotation angle.
PW:PeriodicTarget $true or $false Face Target domain of a translate or rotate periodic domain.
This domain will be deleted before the creation of the periodic domain.
PW:WallSpacing > 0.0 Face Viscous normal spacing for T-Rex extrusion.
