Defining Boundary Conditions

When assigning boundary conditions, you only define the starting point of the boundary condition. This boundary condition is valid until the starting point of the next boundary condition. On an exterior surface boundary conditions run counter-clockwise (for interior boundaries, boundary starting points run clockwise, e.g. hollow objects like chimney, floor heating systems, etc.). In the next step, you will assign 6 boundary conditions. In the figure below, you can see the assigned boundary conditions:

Summary

•	Boundary conditions are arranged in the Boundary Condition Flyout . In the lower part of the Flyout is the boundary condition database, while in the upper part, the boundary conditions present in the document can be found.

•	New boundary condition objects are generated with the Boundary Condition tool . Only the starting point of a BC is defined. On an exterior surface these BC run counter-clockwise to the next BC starting point.

•	The active boundary condition can either be chosen from the list containing all present boundary conditions in the document or from the boundary condition tool properties.
