Sliding Interfaces
Sliding interfaces allow for better solution interpolation across a sliding interface. This feature only allows the mesh size to vary in only one direction. This enables the creation of sliding interfaces, either rotational or linear, with a consistent size profile on each side of the interface. For rotational interfaces, this means the size only varies in the radial direction. Sliding Interfaces are most commonly used to model a rotational sliding interface such as those present in the following geometries:
- Rotor / Stator Simulations
- Helicopter Rotors
- Wind Turbines
