Deactivation Set Advanced dialog box (Multiphysics)

Option	Description
Type	Structural Deactivation SetIgnores the deactivated elements while performing the structural calculations related to the selected option.Thermal Deactivation SetIgnores the deactivated elements while performing the thermal calculations related to the selected option.Flow Deactivation SetIgnores the deactivated elements while performing the flow calculations related to the selected option.
Name
Name	Sets a name for the simulation object. The name appears in the Simulation Navigator and the graphics window.DescriptionSpecifies a description for the simulation object.
Destination Folder
Simulation Object Container	Specifies the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which the boundary condition will be stored.The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command. Examples of a root container include Load Container, Constraint Container, and Simulation Object Container.
Folder Manager	Displays a hierarchical listing of existing folders.To create a new folder, right-click any level of the hierarchy and choose New Folder.
Region/Top Side Region (Deactivate Radiation)/Bottom Side Region (Deactivate Radiation)
Region is available for all options in the Deactivation Options group. Use it for all options except when Radiation Option is set to Deactivate All Radiation or Deactivate for Solar.Top Side Region (Deactivate Radiation) and Bottom Side Region (Deactivate Radiation) appear when Radiation Option is set to Deactivate All Radiation or Deactivate for Solar. You can select the geometry or elements for the top side, for the bottom side, or for both the top and bottom sides.Note: If your solution contains both a Structural Deactivation Set and a Thermal Deactivation Set, the selection for both sets must be identical.
Group Reference	Lets you apply the region to deactivate to a group.For more information, see Group Reference options.
Select Object	Lets you select either the geometry associated with the elements to deactivate or the elements themselves.Element Selection Filtering lets you limit your element selection to the FE entity you select from the Filter Type list.Caution: You must select Element from the main selection Type Filter list to use the Element Selection Filtering options.Excluded lets you remove individual entities from within your selected object.
Deactivation Options
Eliminate from Solution	Available for Thermal Deactivation Set and Flow Deactivation Set types.Removes all selected elements from any calculation by the solvers.
Do not Convect	Available for Flow Deactivation Set type.Removes all selected elements from any convection calculation by the solvers.
Deactivate Radiation	Available for Thermal Deactivation Set type.Removes all selected elements from any radiation calculation by the thermal solver depending on the option you select in the Radiation Option list.Deactivate All RadiationDeactivates elements for all radiation calculations. They cannot emit, reflect, or block radiation.Deactivate for ShadowingPrevents the selected elements from blocking radiation. With this option, the elements are not considered in view factor shadowing checks. However, the elements are still modeled as emitting and reflecting radiation (view factors are calculated for them).This option lets you reduce radiation model solution time by disabling shadowing checks for elements which you know do not shadow (e.g. elements on the surface of a uniformly concave enclosure).Deactivate for SolarDeactivates the solar, albedo, and Earth view factors for the selected elements.
