| These are the different possibilities: | These are the different possibilities: | ||
| ==== For regular movements ==== | ==== For regular movements ==== | ||
| + | One created, if you click in the regular movement you should see an empty timeline at the center of the window. You can add different actions for the movement (such as delay, rectilinear motions, etc) with the buttons at the right side. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Just click in the ones you want to add and edit its properties and order with the timeline controls at the center of the window. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can also loop a movement by checking the 'loop' property at the left. | ||
| ==== For wave generators ==== | ==== For wave generators ==== | ||
| + | With regular and irregular wave generators you can only edit its properties, and not add actions to the timeline. | ||
| + | |||
| + | These are special movements and cannot be looped, at they are automatically looped by nature. | ||
| ==== For movements from a file ==== | ==== For movements from a file ==== | ||
| + | File movements are similar to wave generators as only its properties can be edited and no actions can be added to the timeline. | ||
| + | |||
| + | To set a motion from a file make sure to input a path to the external file in the 'File name' field, by typing it or using the browse button. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Importing custom STL files ===== | ||
| + | Since FreeCAD does not support scaling for external STL files, a functionality to do so is included into DesignSPHysics. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can use it with the 'Import STL' button in the pre-processing section. Just select an STL file and edit its scale factor. Also, you can change it name. Press import and use it as another object for your case. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Seeing a summary of the case ===== | ||
| + | To see a summary with all the case constants, parameters etc just use the 'Case summary' button in the pre-processing section. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can see in there a lot of information there in one place to easy check how a case is defined. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Changing between 2D and 3D case definition ===== | ||
| + | A DesignSPHysics case can be 3D (by default) or 2D. To change the case to a 2D definition use the button 'Change 3D/2D'. While changing to 2D mode a dialog should appear asking you where to slice the case in the y coordinate. Input the desired value (you can move the case limits later, too) and press OK. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You have now a 2D case. This means the case limits is now a plane and can't be resized in the Y coordinate. | ||
| + | |||
| + | To continue defining the case do it like if it were a 3D one. | ||
