Physics Interface Component
In the Physics Interface Component node () you can collect nodes that define something specific that you need in several places, or to group nodes together to avoid long lists of nodes under a physics interface.
To add a Physics Interface Component:
•
On the Home toolbar click the Physics Interface Component button ().
•
Under Building Blocks, right-click Components and add it from the context menu.
To add a wide variety of features, right-click the Physics Interface Component node or click the buttons on the Home or Physics Interface toolbars. The available features are described throughout this chapter.
Variables, Feature Link, Property Link, Physics Interface Component Link, Multiphysics Coupling, Usage Condition, Equation Display, Mesh Defaults, Study and Solver Defaults, Result Defaults, Auxiliary Settings (Physics Interface), Menu, and Item and Item / Button.
The Settings window has a section to specify parameters.
For information about the Dependencies window’s information about dependencies, see Dependencies.
Parameters
Specify parameters by filling in the columns Name, Description, and Default expression. Select the Read only check box if you do not want to make it possible to alter the content in the Default expression column by links. This can be useful when more complicated parameter expressions are needed by the component, but they are not something that the link should change. Otherwise, a parameter expression can be changed for each component link that uses this component.
