The following article describes the use of the domain.type command. This command is used to set the domain's type.

Contents

[edit] Syntax

domain.type(s)

where

Parameter description type default
s The domain's type string -

Where s can be of type planeStrain, planeStress, axisymmetric.

[edit] Examples

Create a plane strain domain.

domain.dim("planeStrain")

[edit] Comments

The domain's type puts some restrictions on the type of elements that can be used.

A domain of type planeStrain or planeStress is defined in the xy coordinate axes, with the thickness to defined in the z-direction.
