Leak detection mesh controls check if the resulting wrapped surface mesh creates a desired cavity before the wrapping process starts. For example, for an external aero/underhood analysis, leak detection mesh controls can help make sure a cabin, engine, and fuel tank are properly sealed, prohibiting mesh from being created there.

Once leak detection mesh controls are defined, right-click on the Adaptive Wrap folder and select Run Leak Detection. Depending upon the model size and parameters defined, leak detection can take several minutes.

 

Parameters

Parameter

Description

Enclosed Node

Defines the node within shells to be enclosed by the wrapper. This node should be enclosed by a possible volume.

Destination Nodes

Destination nodes enable leak detection paths to be found between the enclosed node and destination nodes. 1D elements are generated to show the leak detection path. If a leak detection path is not found, 1D elements will not be generated.
