Region Discretization Types

Regions have an internal discretization type which may be set using RegionDiscretizationType. For co-simulation, the region discretization type is set to the default value of Mesh Region.

When set to Point Cloud Region, System Coupling supports 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

Note:  Region discretization types are not supported for System Coupling in Workbench.
