Criteria Functions Field Functions Reference

Some field functions are made available to the simulation when the Criteria Functions model is activated.

The following primitive field function is available when the Temporary Storage Retained expert property of the Segregated Volume Fraction solver is activated.

Source Rate of Void<Phase> The VOF phase source for the auxiliary void phase.

The following primitive field functions are available to the simulation when the Criteria Functions model is activated.

Cooling Rate of <Phase> @ <Critical Temperature> The Cooling Rate of the melting-solidifying phase at the critical temperature.
Secondary Dendrite Arm Spacing of <Phase> @ <Critical Temperature> The Secondary Dendrite Arm Spacing (LST) of the melting-solidifying phase at the critical temperature.
Primary Dendrite Arm Spacing of <Phase> The Primary Dendrite Arm Spacing of the melting-solidifying phase.
G/v of <Phase> @ <Critical Temperature> The G/v ratio of the melting-solidifying phase at the critical temperature.
Isotherm Speed of <Phase> @ <Critical Temperature> The Isotherm Speed of the melting-solidifying phase at the critical temperature.
