Program Controlled (default)

Off: Selecting this option turns scattering controls off.

On: Selecting this option turns scattering controls on and also displays the Scattering Output Type property.

The Scattering Output Type property is used to specify the output type for an acoustic scattering analysis. The options for this property include Total and Scattered. Select the Total option when you wish to output the total pressure field and the Scattered option when you want to output the scattered pressure field.

If you specify an Incident Wave Location excitation and set the property to Outside the Model, Mechanical automatically sets the Scattering Output Type property to Total.

For more information, refer to the ASOL and ASCRES commands in the Mechanical APDL Command Reference.
