solver.tui.define.overset_interfaces.options#

class main_menu.define.overset_interfaces.options(path, service)#

Enters the overset interface options menu.

auto_create(*args, **kwargs)#: Enables the automatic creation of a default overset interface during initialization or mesh motion update.

dead_cell_update(*args, **kwargs)#: Enables/disables the updating of dead cells during the solution process, which may be helpful for some moving and dynamic mesh simulations (though at the cost of solver performance). You can enter the number of layers of dead cells adjacent to the receptor cells that you want updated, or enter -1 to request that all dead cells are updated. This text command is only available for transient simulations when define/overset-interfaces/options/expert? is set to yes.

donor_priority_method(*args, **kwargs)#: Allows you to specify whether the cell donor priority used in the overlap minimization of an overset interface is inversely proportional to either the cell size or the distance to the nearest boundary.

mesh_interfaces(*args, **kwargs)#: Allows the inclusion of non-conformal mesh interfaces inside overset cell zones, as long as the mesh interfaces do not spatially overlap with the cells where the overset interfaces lie.

minimize_overlap(*args, **kwargs)#: Allows you to disable overlap minimization during hole cutting.

modified_donor_search(*args, **kwargs)#: Enables / disables modified donor search parameters. When enabled, these parameters result in a more extended donor search, which can be helpful for meshes with orphans. This text command is only available when define/overset-interfaces/options/expert? is set to yes.

modified_hole_cutting(*args, **kwargs)#: Enables / disables modified hole cutting parameters. When enabled, the parameters used can help avoid dead cell zones that result from a hole cutting failure. This text command is only available when define/overset-interfaces/options/expert? is set to yes.

node_connected_donors(*args, **kwargs)#: Allows you to switch between face or node connected donor cells. This text command is only available when define/overset-interfaces/options/expert? is set to yes.

overlap_boundaries(*args, **kwargs)#: Allows you to disable the detection of overlapping boundaries during hole cutting, in order to reduce the computational expense for cases that do not include such boundaries. When enabled, this text command also allows you to specify which boundary zones should be considered when detecting overlapping boundaries; this can be helpful when the default hole cutting process fails.

parallel(*args, **kwargs)#: Allows you to select the algorithm used for overset parallel processing. You can select from the default cell exchange model or the local cell zone replication model; the cell exchange model should require less memory and may result in faster calculations.

partial_cut_faces(*args, **kwargs)#: Enables/disables enhanced hole cutting, where partially overlapping cut faces are decomposed into overlapping and non-overlapping fractions, and only the non-overlapping fractions participate in the hole cutting. This can help avoid the situation where a region or cell zone is erroneously identified as dead because of leakage during flood filling, even though it has overlapping boundaries that match well. When this text command is disabled, the partially overlapping faces are entirely protected from cutting.

render_receptor_cells(*args, **kwargs)#: Allows you to enable visualization of receptor cells in contour and mesh displays.

solve_island_removal(*args, **kwargs)#: Sets the method used to control the removal of isolated patches of solve cells. This text command is only available when define/overset-interfaces/options/expert? is set to yes.

transient_caching(*args, **kwargs)#: Sets the options to control caching of entities in transient overset simulations. This text command is only available when define/overset-interfaces/options/expert? is set to yes.

update_before_case_write(*args, **kwargs)#: Enables/disables the updating of the overset interfaces before writing a case file in the Common Fluids Format (CFF). This text command is only available when define/overset-interfaces/options/expert? is set to yes.

verbosity(*args, **kwargs)#: Specifies the level of detail printed in the console about overset interfaces.
