Properties

Properties are set in the Inspector and are used when the matching input is not connected. Other nodes in Analysis › Immersed:
  • BrinkmanFlowModel: Brinkman resistance interpolation for the fluid topology-optimization objectives (optional; absent = defaults).
  • DarcyFlowModel: Darcy design-model parameters for the Temperature topology-optimization objective (connect to select the Darcy model).
  • ImmersedFlowSolver: Steady incompressible flow (Navier-Stokes) analysis via the immersed solver.
  • ImmersedStaticStressSolver: Static stress analysis via the immersed solver.
  • ImmersedStaticThermalSolver: Static thermal analysis via the immersed solver.
  • ImmersedStaticThermalStressSolver: Coupled static thermal-stress analysis via the immersed solver.
  • ImmersedThermalFlowSolver: Conjugate heat transfer (steady flow + temperature transport) via the immersed solver.
  • LevelSetTuning: Advanced level-set shape/topology tuning for the Immersed Topology Optimizer (nucleation, minimum feature size, curvature, velocity filter).
  • SizeConstraints: Maximum solid / fluid size constraints for the Immersed Topology Optimizer (optional; absent = unconstrained).
  • TopologyOptimizationConfig: Settings for the Immersed Topology Optimizer.
  • TwoLayerModel: Two-layer micro-channel model for the Temperature topology-optimization objective: coolant channels and fins over a heated substrate, solved as a pressure-driven one-element-thick plate (connect to select the model).
