OOF2: The Manual

Name

Point Boundary (SkeletonPointBoundaryDomain) — Use a Skeleton point boundary as the post-processing domain.

Synopsis

SkeletonPointBoundaryDomain(boundary)

Details

  • Base class: Domain
  • Parameters:

    boundary
    The name of the boundary on which to evaluate the output. Type: The name of a point boundary of the Skeleton.

Description

Domain objects are part of the post-solution analysis framework, in which useful data is extracted from the Mesh. The Domain is the subset of the Mesh to which the sampling is applied. When the domain is set to SkeletonPointBoundaryDomain, output is evaluated at the points in the Mesh corresponding to the nodes in the Skeleton point boundary.

SkeletonPointBoundaryDomain domains support sampling methods in the point category.

[Note] Note

Evaluating outputs at the nodes of a Skeleton point boundary is sort of weird, because if the Skeleton point boundary contains more than one Node, it's possible that the corresponding boundary in the Mesh should contain intermediate nodes, if the Mesh elements are high order. SkeletonPointBoundaryDomain is provided for completeness, but probably only makes sense when the boundary in question consists of a single Node. The same consideration applies to setting boundary conditions on a point boundary.
