Interstage Definition dialog box (Simcenter Samcef)

Type
Type	Specifies the type of interstage definition.
Name
Name	Sets the name of the interstage condition that appears in the Simulation Navigator under the Simulation Objects Container node.
Description	Sets the description.
Destination Folder
Simulation Objects Container	Lets you specify the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which the cyclic symmetry condition will be stored. The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command.
Source Region (slave)
Source Region	Lets you select the Source Region of the interstage condition. For more details on the Samcef Regions, see Region dialog box (Simcenter Samcef).
Target Region (master)
Target Region	Lets you select a Target Region of the interstage condition. For more details on the Samcef Regions, see Region dialog box (Simcenter Samcef).
Swap Regions
Appears when Type is set to Surface-to-Surface Interstage Definition.
Swap Regions	Lets you swap defined regions.
Direction
Override CSYS	Lets you define a revolution cylindrical coordinate system for the simulation object.You can select the Global Cyclic Analysis coordinate system (globally defined in the FEM). You can also create a new User-Defined Cylindrical coordinate system.
Local	Appears when CSYS is set to User-Defined Cylindrical.Click CSYS Dialog to use the CSYS dialog box to create the coordinate system.
Parameters
Multi-Cyclic Field Approach	Select this check box if the model contains reference sectors with very different properties (angles, number of segments, and so on).For more information, see the PRECN parameter of the Samcef .ALGO MULTIC command.
Projection Parameters
Normal Distance (PRECN)	Lets you define the normal distance threshold for the interstage projection.Note: Samcef automatically computes a default for this distance if omitted.For more information, see the PRECN parameter of the Samcef .ISD command.
Tangential Distance (PRECT)	Lets you define the tangential distance threshold or the projection.Note: Samcef automatically computes a default for this distance if omitted.For more information, see the PRECT parameter of the Samcef .ISD command.
Ancillary Display
For more details, see Ancillary Display dialog box (Simcenter Samcef)
