Objective:-
To provide the general overview of current status, the functions and operation of
A menu-driven stand-alone utility for creating GEOMetry files which can be interpreted as VR objects.
VRGEOM is designed to provide a user-friendly tool for creating objects participating in fluid-thermal simulations.
VRGEOM handles a number of basic object classes from which the variety of different shapes can be created via user-specified object parameters.
At present, thirteen classes of basic objects have been made available for Cartesian coordinate system. They are:
VRGEOM can also convert XYZ files, such as PHOENICS uses for describing BFC grids and geometries, into the files which are interpreted as specific objects. The examples are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
Once created these objects can be loaded into the VR editor, dimensioned, oriented and combined to obtain the desired geometry.
Menu items are selected by mouse in the usual way - use the left side
mouse button.
An example of the main graphics window menu - [File]
Selection of [Open GEO file] leads to a lower level menu where
appropriate file selections are made.
Similarly for other choices.
Local on-line Help is provided.
Input modes are:
Following input, when appropriate:
All user-input data are saved in the file of specified name by clicking
[File]/[Save GEOfile].
They can be loaded
back by clicking [File]/[Open GEOfile], when
required.
