Non-Parametric Geometry Catalog

Introduction

This catalog shows the available selections for scalable static or moving bodies to add to your model. Non-parametric geometries are not editable within M-Star Pre, the parameters defining the geometry are not exposed and cannot be edited. The geometry can only be scaled uniformly. These include geometries typical of vendor systems.

Non-parametric geometries are divided into several groups:

  • Baffles: This includes various baffle types like 3-finger, C-baffle, and fin baffles.

  • Impellers: This includes a wide range of impellers for different applications including bottom-mounted magnetic, gas dispersion, glass-lined, high efficiency, high shear, high solidity, high viscosity, and solid suspension.

  • Miscellaneous: This includes geometries for length references, like a cat and a person.

  • Wave Bags: This includes wave bags of different capacities.

These geometries can be accessed on the Add Geometry Form when adding a new object or adding to an existing object. They appear under the Non-Parametric folder on the form.

Property Grid

The categories, settings, and/or selections available within the property grid depend on the child geometry type.

Position

Location

m | This parameter defines the position of the geometry mount point within the domain. Editing this value adjusts the location of the geometry within the domain.

Axis

Read only.

Display Attributes

Visible

This controls whether the object is displayed in the 3D viewing panel.

Hidden

The object is not displayed in the 3D view.

Shown

The object is displayed in the 3D view.

Mode

This controls how the object is rendered.

Wire

This renders the object as a wireframe.

Color

This sets the color of the wireframe.

Width

This adjusts the line width used to render the wireframe.

Shaded

This renders the object as a shaded surface.

Material

This sets the surface material. Available options are Aluminum, Steel, Chrome, Plastic, and Glass.

Color

This sets the surface color.

Opacity

When glass is selected, this sets surface opacity.
