5.3.4.1.1. Domains

Select the domain(s) in which the turbo surface will exist.

5.3.4.1.2. Turbo Surface Definition

Ansys TurboGrid creates a turbo surface using a defined variable and its value. Set the domain to either All Domains or DOMAIN:Passage. Select a variable and set a value to define the location of the turbo surface. (The variable is "K" by default, which is the mesh plane index that varies from hub to shroud for the H-Grid and J-Grid topologies.) You may enter the value directly, or, for the "K" variable, use the up/down arrows, or, for any other variable, click in the Value box, then click Enter Expression   (to the right of the Value box) to enter an expression for the value, or use the slider.
