*Dimension (setting)

Dimension of the coupling participant.

Determines the region topologies the participant supports and the coupling participants it can be coupled with. A participant can have only a single dimension value (it may be either 3D or 2D, but not both).

Optional. If no value is specified, uses the default value.

Possible values:

  • 3D (default value)

    A 3D participant may have surface regions, volume regions, or a combination of both. It can be coupled with 2D and/or other 3D participants. When sending/receiving vector data, the data may be either all 2D or all 3D.

  • 2D

    A 2D participant can have only surface regions and can be coupled with 2D or 3D participants. 2D to 3D coupling cannot be done if one of the regions is a point cloud.


Note:  This setting is not editable in System Coupling's GUI.



Tip:  Shown in the GUI as the Coupling Participant | Dimension setting.
