Description

CAE, Solver Attributes, Gambit
The Bc Type and Dim2 Point Format attributes can be specified for the Gambit solver export.

When exporting to Gambit, the Bc Type attribute is used to specify the format in which the boundary conditions will be written out by the exporter. This attribute can be set to one of the following two options: Element or Node. If Element is selected, the boundary conditions will be written out as element sets. On the other hand, if Node is selected, the boundary conditions will be written out as node sets.

Note that the Bc Type solver attribute can be superseded by two CAE boundary conditions types: Element Side and Node. All grid entities assigned to a CAE boundary condition of type Element Side will be exported as an element set. On the other hand, all grid entities assigned to a CAE boundary condition of type Node, will be exported as a node set.

The Dim2 Point Format attribute can be set to one of the following two options: XY, or XYZ. When the current CAE dimension is set to 2D, both options are available. If XY is selected, the exporter will write out the X and Y coordinates of each grid point. On the other hand, if XYZ is selected, the exporter will write out the X, Y, and Z coordinates of each grid point. When the current CAE dimension is set to 3D, this attribute is ignored by the exporter and all three coordinates (i.e. X, Y, and Z) of each grid points will be written out.
