Define the region's settings.
Each region object has a participant-specified name that System Coupling uses to identify the region object. Region object names must be unique within the analysis, must be in ASCII format, and cannot include forward slashes (/).
Tip: Shown in the GUI as the Coupling Participant | Region branch.
Region contents:
Region name to be displayed in user-facing communications.
Each region object's display name is used, when available, and is shown in System Coupling's GUI, Transcript/Log files, and EnSight-formatted results.
Tip: Shown in the GUI as the region object under the Region branch.
Type of data being transferred from/to the region.
Possible values:
Tip: Shown in the GUI as the Coupling Participant | Region | Topology setting.
Variables for which the region can receive data.
Blank values are permitted.
Tip: Shown in the GUI as the Coupling Participant | Region | Input Variables setting.
Variables for which the region can send data.
Blank values are permitted.
Tip: Shown in the GUI as the Coupling Participant | Region | Output Variables setting.
Type of discretization being performed on the region.
Possible values:
Mesh Region(default value)Supports nodes and mesh connectivity such as node to cell, node to face, and face to cell connectivity information.
Point Cloud RegionSupports standalone mapping and co-simulation of intensive variables between regions of like topology. These include:
2D Surface Point Cloud to/from 2D Surface Point Cloud
2D Surface Point Cloud to/from 2D Surface Mesh
3D Surface Point Cloud to/from 3D Surface Point Cloud
3D Surface Point Cloud to/from 3D Surface Mesh
3D Volume Point Cloud to/from 3D Volume Point Cloud
3D Volume Point Cloud to/from 3D Volume Mesh
Tip: Shown in the GUI as the Coupling Participant | Region | Region Discretization Type setting.
