gap_model#

class ansys.fluent.core.solver.tui_231.main_menu.define.gap_model(path, service)#

Bases: TUIMenu

Enters the gap model menu, where you can define one or more gap regions where the flow is blocked or decelerated when face zones move within a specified proximity threshold of each other.

Classes:

advanced_options(path, service)

Enters the advanced options menu for the gap model.

Methods:

create(*args, **kwargs)

Creates a single gap region, so that when selected face zones move within a specified proximity threshold of each other, flow blockage / deceleration is applied to the cells that lie within the threshold.

delete(*args, **kwargs)

Deletes an existing gap region.

delete_all(*args, **kwargs)

Deletes all of the existing gap regions.

edit(*args, **kwargs)

Edits an existing gap region.

enable(*args, **kwargs)

Enables/disables the gap model.

list_gap_cell_zones(*args, **kwargs)

Lists the names of the cell zones that can be excluded for individual gap regions (so that such cells are not marked for flow blockage / deceleration).

list_gap_face_zones(*args, **kwargs)

Lists the names of the face zones that can be used for creating gap regions.

list_gap_regions(*args, **kwargs)

Lists the properties of the gap regions.
