Description
Generates a 2D boundary layer mesh on surfaces/elements.
Inputs
- base_entity_type
- The type of entities to use for the base. Valid values are surfs and elems.
- base_mark_id
- The ID of the mark containing the base entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- bl_entity_type
- The type of entities to use for the boundary layers. Valid values depend on the base entity type:
- bl_mark_id
- The ID of the mark containing the boundary layer entities. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- num_layers
- The number of boundary layers to generate.
- first_layer_thickness
- The thickness value of the first layer.
- growth_rate
- The growth rate of the boundary layers.
- string_array
- The ID of the string array that contains the additional input parameters. The string array is created using the *createstringarray command. This should always be set to 1. Valid parameters include:
- number_of_strings
- Integer indicating the size (number of strings) in the string array created using *createstringarray.
