 This command fills a pool with solid water elements, a spring pool water/wall interface and the surface areas of the interface using shells. The pool is filled using an algorithm used in the [[com:​EXCAV]] command where the floor of the pool and the wall Z-levels are used to create group solid elements to fill the volume. The interface of the pool wall/water are connected by a set of springs with the stiffness of these springs determined by user input. Finally a shell group is added that approximates the areas of the interface which may be useful in further processing of the pool in ANSYS(r). This command fills a pool with solid water elements, a spring pool water/wall interface and the surface areas of the interface using shells.

 The user should create a sub-model of the pool to be filled before using this command. The pool model should only contain the walls and floor of a single pool to be filled. The walls and floor must be made of either shells or solids. ​ The user should create a sub-model of the pool to be filled before using this command.

-  * Stiff - Stiffness of the Water wall spring interface (Default 10<​sup>​6</​sup>​)+  * Stiff - Stiffness of the Water wall spring interface ​parallel to the normal ​(Default 10<​sup>​6</​sup>​)
   * Sensitivity -  allowable variation in Z on the same Z-level (Default 0)   * Sensitivity -  allowable variation in Z on the same Z-level (Default 0)
   * EmptyLevels - Number of Z-levels, starting at the highest level, not to be filled by water (Default 0)   * EmptyLevels - Number of Z-levels, starting at the highest level, not to be filled by water (Default 0)
Line 13: Line 13:
     * ShellArea = 1 - Create the shell areas in the pool model     * ShellArea = 1 - Create the shell areas in the pool model
     * ShellArea ≠ 1 - Do not create the shell areas in the pool model     * ShellArea ≠ 1 - Do not create the shell areas in the pool model
 +  * offset – node number to start numbering of pool elements. This number should be greater than or equal to last node number from the original ​ model if the user intends to import the water and spring group back into the original model. ​ If the offset is less than or equal to 0 the pool wall  node number maximum will be used   ​(Default -1) An error will occur for any positive number that is less than the pool wall node number maximum.
 +  * stiff2 - Stiffness of wall spring interface perpendicular to the normal. perpendicular stiffness used to model non fluid materials that may fill a pool (Default 0)
