Static Body Variable

These objects contain a UDF that evaluates over points on a Static Body. They are used to create custom fields based on common input variables.

Property Grid

General

Static Body

Select the static body reference.

Data Type

Definition

Scalar

Each cell value contains a single floating point value.

Vector

Each cell value contains a 3 component vector.

Compute For Output Only

Definition

Every Time

Computes every time step.

Only On Output

Computes only at an output time step.

Surface Transfer

Definition

Interpolation

Interpolate a value based on neighboring values.

Distributing

Assumes a linear distribution between neighboring points.

Initial Scalar

Initial value at t=0.

Static Body Variable UDF

depends | This UDF defines the custom variable to be computed along the static body surface. One output must be defined within the UDF: a floating-point variable named {sv}, where {sv} is the dynamic name of the surface variable. This is a local UDF, calculated on a voxel-by-voxel basis using the local fluid properties. The UDF is only applied along the cells touching the solid surface.
