Loads

The Loads panel open beside the setup tree, showing the LOADS and FLOW LOAD sections.

Only used if the run wrote kinematic pressure (p/rho). Water is about 1000, seawater 1025, air 1.2.

  • Control: value (ValueField)
  • Unit: m
  • Value modes: none (plain entry)
  • Shown when: StructuralState.flowSource !== ""

Refuse the run if a loaded face is further than this from any CFD face. Zero accepts whatever is nearest. Set it against the FLUID mesh spacing, not against zero.

repeated once for every entry in StructuralState.loads

  • Control: choice (ComboRow)
  • Options: Pressure, Force, Gravity
  • Control: action (ToolButton2)

Label changes with the case; the source gives these forms: Face, Group.

The application reports no problems against this step.


… marks a value the application computes at run time, so the source carries no fixed text for it.
