CreateExternalFlowBoundaries#

class ansys.fluent.core.generated.v261.meshing.meshing.Root.CreateExternalFlowBoundaries(service, rules, command, path=None)#

Bases: PyCommand

Create an enclosure, or a bounding box, around the geometry, or use a pre-existing object from the CAD model to represent the enclosure. This enclosure will represent the external flow region, whose bounds can be specified as a ratio of geometry size, or as specific minimum and maximum coordinates. More…

Parameters:
ExternalBoundariesNamestr

Enter a name for the external flow boundary or use the default value.

CreationMethodstr

Choose how you want to create the external flow boundary: either by creating a new boundary using a bounding box, or use an existing portion of the geometry.

ExtractionMethodstr

Choose whether you would like to extract the external flow region either as a surface mesh object (a direct surface remesh of the object) a wrap, or an existing mesh (for overset components). The object setting is applied later when generating the surface mesh.

SelectionTypestr

Choose how you want to make your selection (by object, label, or zone name).

ObjectSelectionListlist[str]

Choose one or more objects from the list below. Use the Filter Text drop-down to provide text and/or regular expressions in filtering the list (for example, using *, ?, and []). Choose Use Wildcard to provide wildcard expressions in filtering the list. When you use either ? or * in your expression, the matching list item(s) are automatically selected in the list. Use ^, |, and & in your expression to indicate boolean operations for NOT, OR, and AND, respectively. More…

ZoneSelectionListlist[str]

Choose one or more zones from the list below. Use the Filter Text drop-down to provide text and/or regular expressions in filtering the list (for example, using *, ?, and []). Choose Use Wildcard to provide wildcard expressions in filtering the list. When you use either ? or * in your expression, the matching list item(s) are automatically selected in the list. Use ^, |, and & in your expression to indicate boolean operations for NOT, OR, and AND, respectively. More…

LabelSelectionListlist[str]

Choose one or more labels from the list below. Use the Filter Text drop-down to provide text and/or regular expressions in filtering the list (for example, using *, ?, and []). Choose Use Wildcard to provide wildcard expressions in filtering the list. When you use either ? or * in your expression, the matching list item(s) are automatically selected in the list. Use ^, |, and & in your expression to indicate boolean operations for NOT, OR, and AND, respectively. More…

ObjectSelectionSinglelist[str]

Choose a single object from the list below. Use the Filter Text field to provide text and/or regular expressions in filtering the list. The matching list item(s) are automatically displayed in the list. Use ^, |, and & in your expression to indicate boolean operations for NOT, OR, and AND, respectively. More…

ZoneSelectionSinglelist[str]

Choose a single zone from the list below. Use the Filter Text field to provide text and/or regular expressions in filtering the list. The matching list item(s) are automatically displayed in the list. Use ^, |, and & in your expression to indicate boolean operations for NOT, OR, and AND, respectively. More…

Choose a single label from the list below. Use the Filter Text field to provide text and/or regular expressions in filtering the list. The matching list item(s) are automatically displayed in the list. Use ^, |, and & in your expression to indicate boolean operations for NOT, OR, and AND, respectively. More…

OriginalObjectNamestr
BoundingBoxObjectdict[str, Any]

View the extents of the bounding box.

Returns:
bool

Methods:

create_instance()

Create a command-argument instance for this operation.

__init__(service, rules, command, path=None)#

__init__ method of PyCommand class.

create_instance()#

Create a command-argument instance for this operation.

The returned PyArguments wrapper exposes the operation’s arguments for inspection and state updates. Its lifetime is registered with the underlying service so command-argument resources can be released when the wrapper is deleted.
