Rotational Periodicity Target Zone dialog box (Thermal/Flow/SST/ESC)

Name
Name Defines the constraint name.Description opens a text editor to let you type a description for the constraint.
Destination Folder
Constraint 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.
Destination Elements
Group Reference Applies the boundary condition to the selected group.For more information, see Group Reference options.
Select Object Lets you select in the target model, elements or the geometry containing the elements that you want to associate to a Rotational Periodicity Association Zone type of Mapping constraint from the source model.Excluded lets you remove elements from within your selected object. The software does not apply the constraint to excluded elements.Note: The Element Selection Filtering options are available when the Type Filter list on the Top Border bar is set to Elements.
Stacked Smart Selector Methods Opens the Smart Selector Methods dialog box where you can specify a progression of smart selection filters.For more information, see Smart Selector Methods dialog box.
Destination Nodes
The Group Reference options work in the same way as similar options in the Destination Elements group. Select Object also works in the same way, but you use this option to select nodes instead of elements.
Corresponding Source Model Elements
Update Zones Checks the loaded source model for Rotational Periodicity Association Zone type of Mapping constraints, and includes them in the Rotational Periodicity Association Zone list.
Rotational Periodicity Association Zone Associates this rotational periodicity target zone to the selected rotational periodicity association zone from the source model.
