Hi, everyone here, good morning!
I am defining the porous medium property in SWFS. If my geometry used for P.M. is not along X,Y or Z direction, it is 45deg. with X or Y axis, how, and where to define unidirectional P.M. in engineering database?
Thanks for any suggestions and comments.
hi hannah, just choose a local coordinate system that has the appropriate direction for you. here's an excerpt from the help:
In the Coordinate System, Curve
list select a Coordinate System and specify the characteristic direction as the Reference axis of the selected Coordinate System. By default, the Global Coordinate System is selected. You can replace the Global Coordinate System by selecting your coordinate system in the flyout FeatureManager design tree. To create a coordinate system, click Insert > Reference Geometry > Coordinate System.
In the Coordinate System, Curve
list select a Curve to specify the characteristic direction at any point as a tangent to the selected Curve in its closest point. To select a curve, click the curve feature in the flyout FeatureManager design tree or select the curve in the graphics area.
