Shape Intersection Settings

Modeling: ToolsBooleanIntersection Check Settings

This dialog box allows you to define what kind of material properties are considered for shape intersection checks. Especially for coupled thermal calculations it is important to activate Electromagnetic and Thermal problem types.

 

Problem types to check

 

Activate one or more of the following problem types.

 

Electromagnetic

Activate this problem-type for any electromagnetic solver. This mode allows intersections with PEC solids, if no conflict appears from other problem-types (e.g. Thermal, Mechanics).

 

Thermal

This problem type checks if solids with thermal material properties are overlapping.  This mode allows intersections with PTC solids, if no conflict appears from other problem-types (e.g. Electromagnetic, Mechanics).

 

Mechanics

This problem type checks if solids with mechanics material properties are overlapping. This mode allows intersections with materials of type "Unused", if no conflict appears from other problem-types (e.g. Electromagnetic, Thermal).

OK

Press this button to apply the settings.

Cancel

Closes this dialog box without performing any further action.
