make_periodic

class ansys.fluent.core.generated.solver.settings_261.make_periodic(name=None, parent=None)

Bases: Command

Attempt to establish conformal periodic face zone connectivity.

Parameters:

zone_namestr

Id/name of zone to convert to periodic.

shadow_zone_namestr

Id/name of zone to convert to shadow.

rotate_periodicbool

Specifies whether the periodicity is rotational or translational.

createbool

Specifies whether to create periodic zones or just check for periodicity.

auto_translationbool

Specifies whether to automatically detect the translation vector for periodicity.

directionList

Specifies the translation vector for periodicity. If auto-detection is enabled, this will be ignored.
