searchableSurfaceCollection

Table of Contents

• Usage

A set of transformed searchableSurfaces.

After creating the searchable object the searchableSurfaceCollection can be scaled and transformed in the specified local co-ordinate system.

searchable collection example

In the example shown here, the box1 has two copies called seal and herring. The geometries are always merged. Regions are merged when

mergeSubRegions true;

As it is shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 shows the situation with regions not merged.

Note

Boolean operations are not performed, i.e. on meshing, parts may be identified 'inside'.

Usage

box1
{
    type            searchableBox;
    min             (0 0 0);
    max             (1 1 1);
}
