StructuralBC Properties
Boundary condition or boundary load for structural analysis model
Domain-specific structural workflow is not recommended. New features might not be compatible with this workflow. For help migrating your existing code to the unified finite element workflow, see Migration from Domain-Specific to Unified Workflow.
A StructuralBC
object specifies the type of
PDE boundary condition or boundary load on a set of geometry boundaries. A StructuralModel
object contains a vector of StructuralBC
objects in
its BoundaryConditions.StructuralBCAssignments
property.
To specify boundary conditions for your model, use the structuralBC
function. To specify boundary loads, use structuralBoundaryLoad
.
Properties of StructuralBC
RegionType
— Geometric region type
'Face'
for 3-D geometry | 'Edge'
for 2-D geometry
Geometric region type, specified as 'Face'
for a 3-D
geometry or 'Edge'
for a 2-D geometry.
Data Types: char
| string
RegionID
— Geometric region ID
vector of positive integers
Geometric region ID, specified as a vector of positive integers. Find the
region IDs by using pdegplot
with
'FaceLabels'
(3-D) or 'EdgeLabels'
(2-D) set to 'on'
.
Data Types: double
Vectorized
— Vectorized function evaluation
'off'
(default) | 'on'
Vectorized function evaluation, specified as 'off'
or
'on'
. This evaluation applies when you pass a
function handle as an argument. To save time in the function handle
evaluation, specify 'on'
, assuming that your function
handle computes in a vectorized fashion. See Vectorization. For details on
this evaluation, see Nonconstant Boundary Conditions.
