mesh Fit Bounding Box

Introduction

The Fit Bounding Box option is available only when using the Deforming Mesh motion type. It scans all the imported mesh files associated with the deforming mesh and determines the overall spatial extent of the geometry. By sweeping over every point in all the imported meshes, it calculates the minimum and maximum coordinates in the x-, y-, and z-directions, defining the smallest bounding box that can fully contain the geometry throughout its motion. This ensures the simulation domain is correctly sized to accommodate the full range of deformation.

Access

When you select Fit Bounding Box on the Deforming Mesh context-specific toolbar, the bounding box will define the smallest bounding box that can contain its motion.
