This section describes how to build a finite element model. In general, the following building process is used:
• | Create collectors |
• | Obtain line and surface geometry from an external file, or hand digitize the data |
• | Reconcile conflicts in the geometry and prepare it for use |
• | Build the model by using element-building panels |
• | Verify the quality of the model |
• | Create boundary conditions and systems |
The following building processes are described:
