Multiphysics Parts

Multiphysics Parts

Multiphysics results are grouped together in the PTF file into what are known as domains. Each analysis can contain multiple domains which contain either surface (boundary) data or volume data. Each domain can also contain multiple parts.

As it is possible for an analysis to contain both structural parts and multiphysics parts with the same ID D3PLOT separates the multiphysics parts from the structural parts and then further sub-divides the multiphysics parts into ICFD, CESE and EMAG and then into surface and volume parts.

e.g P3 Part 3 (structural)
IC_S_P3 ICFD Surface Part 3
IC_V_P10 ICFD Volume Part 10
CE_V_P10 CESE Volume Part 10
EM_S_P10 EMAG Surface Part 10

At present complete ICFD, CESE and EMAG parts can be blanked/unblanked but is not possible to blank individual ICFD, CESE or EMAG elements.
