Fluid Pressure Penetration dialog box (Simcenter Samcef)

Name
Name Sets the name of the fluid pressure penetration object that appears in the Simulation Navigator under the Simulation Objects Container node.
Description Sets the description.You can optionally use the Cut , Copy , and Paste commands to manage the text.This description appears only on this dialog box.
Destination Folder
Simulation Objects Container Lets you specify the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which the simulation object will be stored. The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command.
Possible Wet Zone
Target Region Lets you select a Target Region that matches the wet zone.For more information on Samcef Regions, see Region dialog box (Simcenter Samcef).
Fluid Penetration Starting Points
Starting Wet Nodes Region By default, from the faces/edges of the Possible Wet Zone regions, the software automatically detects the pressurized areas.But in some complicated configurations, you can use the Starting Wet Nodes Region to define at least one node for each independent area that can be wet, which helps the software to compute the wet areas. These nodes must belong to the selected faces/edges of the Possible Wet Zone.For more information on Samcef Regions, see Region dialog box (Simcenter Samcef).
Magnitude
Fluid Pressure Loading Lets you define the fluid pressure.
General Parameters
Parameters Lets you define the general parameters.For more information, see Fluid Pressure Penetration Parameters dialog box (Simcenter Samcef).
Contact Selection
Contact Selection Lets you select the contact objects that are part of the Fluid Pressure Penetration object you define. For more information, see Contacts Selection dialog box (Simcenter Samcef).
Advanced Parameters
Reverse Pressure Direction for Shell (REVE) Reverses the shell normals to points to the pressurized area.
User Defined Parameters Lets you manually define .FPP parameters.Note: The added text must be compliant with the Samcef Command Language terminology. For more information, see the Samcef documentation.Note: This property may be populated during the import of a Samcef bank if some of the imported parameters are unknown to this simulation object.
Ancillary Display
For more information, see Ancillary Display dialog box (Simcenter Samcef).
Card Name Displays the name of the solver card this object writes to: .FPP.
