IdentifyRegions

class ansys.fluent.core.generated.datamodel_261.meshing.Root.IdentifyRegions(service, rules, command, path=None)

Bases: PyCommand

Identify specific regions in and around your imported geometry, such as a flow region surrounding a vehicle in an external flow simulation. In this task, you are positioning specific points in the domain where certain regions of interest can be identified and classified for later use in your simulation. More…

Parameters:

AddChildstr

Determine whether or not you want to specify any fluid or void regions using this task.

MaterialPointsNamestr

Specify a name for the region that you want to identify or use the default value.

MptMethodTypestr

Choose how you want to identify the region: using a distinct numerical input of X, Y, and Z coordinates, using the centroid of the selected object, or by using an offset distance relative to the centroid of selected object/zone.

NewRegionTypestr

Specify the type of region as being fluid, solid, or a void.

LinkConstructionstr

Keep the default value of no for most cases involving a singular fluid region. If you mean to identify an additional fluid region, choose yes to indicate that the current fluid region is either inside or adjacent to a construction surface(s), in order to properly mesh this fluid region accordingly (that is, using a surface mesh).

SelectionTypestr

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

ZoneSelectionListlist[str]

Choose one or more face 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…

ZoneLocationlist[str]

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…

ObjectSelectionListlist[str]

Choose one or more objects (or voids) 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…

GraphicalSelectionbool

Enable this option and select a point in the graphics window to be the center of the region.

ShowCoordinatesbool

Enable this option when providing numerical inputs for the region location, and you want to view the exact coordinates.

Xfloat

The x-coordinate of the center of the region.

Yfloat

The y-coordinate of the center of the region.

Zfloat

The z-coordinate of the center of the region.

OffsetXfloat

The x-coordinate of the offset distance relative to the centroid of the selected object/zone.

OffsetYfloat

The y-coordinate of the offset distance relative to the centroid of the selected object/zone.

OffsetZfloat

The z-coordinate of the offset distance relative to the centroid of the selected object/zone.

Returns:

bool
