Fluid density
- Control: value (
ValueField) - Unit: kg/m³
- Value modes: none (plain entry)
- Shown when:
StructuralState.flowSource !== ""
Only used if the run wrote kinematic pressure (p/rho). Water is about 1000, seawater 1025, air 1.2.
Mapping limit
- Control: value (
ValueField) - Unit: m
- Value modes: none (plain entry)
- Shown when:
StructuralState.flowSource !== ""
Refuse the run if a loaded face is further than this from any CFD face. Zero accepts whatever is nearest. Set it against the FLUID mesh spacing, not against zero.
Conditional and repeated groups

Problems reported against this step
The application reports no problems against this step.
… marks a value the application computes at run time, so the source carries no fixed text for it.
