Face Extrusion

ƒ Ability to extrude a boundary face zone and extend the solution domain without having to exit
the solver
• A typical application of the extrusion capability is to extend the solution domain when
recirculating flow is impinging on a flow outlet
ƒ Current extrusion capability creates prismatic or hexahedral layers based on the shape of the
face and normal vectors to the face zone’s nodes.
ƒ New fluid zone is created
ƒ Implemented only in 3D
ƒ Two options available in the TUI:
• Extrude a face thread by specifying a list of displacements (in SI units).

• Extrude a face thread by specifying a total distance (in SI units) and a list of parametric
locations between 0 and 1 (e.g. 0., 0.1, 0.3, 0.75, 1.0).
