FE Mesh, Attributes
Implicit Body, Attributes
About this Block
What it does: The Solid Domain block assigns material attribute to either an FE Mesh or an Implicit Body to be used in an FE Model. Think of this block as a property container. Common uses:- A required input in Simulation Model for analysis workflows.
- Requires a Beam Attribute, Shell Attribute, or Solid Attribute to define the properties of the mesh.
- The FE Solid Domain and the Lattice Domain are built-in custom blocks optimized for solid models and lattices. These can replace the Solid Domain block.
- A Solid Domain block can auto convert (called autocast) to an Simulation Model when it is used in an input that requires an Simulation Model. This is useful for single component setups.
