Activate Automatic Non-Design Growth

All areas applied with a boundary condition are automatically Interfaces. With an Interface the surface will grow a little bit beyond the Design Space boundaries to ensure a trouble-free and clean intersection. It is also possible to detect all Non-Design Space surfaces which are at the same time Design Space limits and let them grow automatically. This option results in a different connection between the Design Space and the Non-Design Spaces/Interfaces. Both results can be viewed here.

If the connection of the automatic Non-Design Growth is preferred, it can be activated with the following command:

...

configuration.autodetection.positiveNonDesignDirection = true

Sometimes this can lead to issues which are described here.

...

Soft Symmetry

The soft symmetry is activated per default. It influences the design generation so that the part is symmetric in all three dimensions if they were symmetric in the respective dimension to begin with. This is achieved for geometrical symmetrical design spaces even without symmetric LBCs and the hard symmetry constraint.

configuration.equivalenceDelta = 1e-4

configuration.attemptSoftSymmetry = dynamic

configuration.softSymmetryThreshold = 0
