The term Solid represents a three dimensional computational domain or its part.
There are three types of Solids depending upon the selection made in the Geometry Information dialog window:
- 3D-Simple (Parametric): This type of solid has a Hexahedral Shape and is defined by its basic dimensions. The base can have a certain slope in the X and Y dimensions. See also Geometry Information. (Solid - 3D-Simple)
- 3D-Layered: This type of solid represents a single object that is used to form a three-dimensional computational domain. The 3D-Layered solid is defined by the Base Surface and one or more Thickness Vectors. More detailed information can be found at Solid - 3D-Layered.
- 3D-General (Boundary Representation): This type of solid represents a single object that is used to form a three-dimensional computational domain. The 3D-Layered solid is defined by its boundary surfaces. More detailed information can be found at Solid - 3D-General.
