absSavStairStep

absSavStairStep

Works with VSimBase, VSimEM, VSimPD, VSimPA, and VSimMD licenses.

This particle sink removes the particles once they cross the stair step boundary that corresponds to the conformal boundary. It saves the particle information so it can be used in other blocks such as history blocks. It will work with a coordProdGrid.

absStairStep Parameters

minDim (integer): Minimum dimensionality for which this sink is applicable (1, 2, or 3).

lowerBounds (integer vector): Gives lower bounds of the particle sink in cell indices.

upperBounds (integer vector): Gives upper bounds of the particle sink in cell indices.

gridBoundary (string): The name of the stair-stepped grid boundary.
