Add Child Fill Point¶
Introduction¶
The child fill point indicates which space will initially be 3D-filled with a liquid. At runtime, the code does a 3D flood fill from this point to the boundaries of the vessel or simulation bounding box (whichever comes first) to define the extent of the fluid’s initial condition.
In the example below, a static body named Spline Pipe is added to the simulation domain. A fill point is added to the system and placed inside the child geometry. The result is that the child geometry is filled with empty headspace while the initial condition of the vessel is filled with fluid.
This is different from the Edit Fill Point form on the Main Lattice page which is used to define the initial extent of the domain.
Property Grid¶
When you select Add Child Fill Point, a new child geometry is formed and the property grid below will launch.
General¶
- Point
m | This is where the location for the child fill point is indicated. The point can be moved or rotated by using Context Specific Toolbar options.
