Card 9 - ROTPER Thermal Rotational Periodicity Definition

KODE

KODE is the code ROTPER (or 87)

N1

N1 is the ROTPER card ID. Cards with the same ID reference the same rotational periodicity definition.

T1 = ANGLE

T1 = ANGLE (or 5) specifies the rotation angle in degrees that is used to duplicate the geometry around the axis of rotation. The equivalent number of instances is 360 divided by T2.

T1 = AXIS

T1 = AXIS (or 3) is the axis of rotation. T2 may be an integer that represents the ID of a referenced Card 9 VECTOR card, or GLOBAL referencing Card 9 GLOBAL_AXIS card.

T1 = INSTANCE

T1 = INSTANCE (or 4) specifies the number of instances in T2. It represents the number of times the geometry is duplicated around the axis of rotation. The rotation angle between two consecutive instances is 360 degrees divided by the number of instances T2.

T1 = OVER_DIR

T1 = OVER_DIR (or 8) specifies the overlap projection direction for rotational periodicity of type CONDUCTIVE when the connect only overlapping elements is ON. The normal of the primary or secondary elements is used to determine the overlap area. T2 may be PRIMARY or SECONDARY.

T1 = OVERLAP

T1 = OVERLAP (or 7) specifies the option to connect only overlapping elements between the primary and secondary regions for rotational periodicity of type CONDUCTIVE. T2 may be ON or OFF.

T1 = RESOLUTION

T1 = RESOLUTION (or 6) specifies the resolution of the coupling that connects the primary and secondary regions for rotational periodicity of type CONDUCTIVE. T2 may be ONETOONE or COARSE or MEDIUM or FINE or VERYFINE or FINEST.

T1 = SELECTION

T1 = SELECTION (or 2) specifies that for rotational periodicity of type CONDUCTIVE, T2 and T3 are group names associated with the Primary Region and the Secondary Region selections, respectively.

T1 = TYPE

T1 = TYPE (or 1) specifies the type of rotational periodicity. T2 may be CONDUCTIVE or RADIATIVE.

Notes

In a thermal rotational periodicity definition, either INSTANCE or ANGLE must be specified.
