Example 5. Multiple sweep directions

The next example gives another example of using different sweep directions on the same model. The following model shows a brick which is perforated by several cylindrical shafts. The shafts do not intersect each other.

Suggested webcuts

Webcut	Command
	CUBIT> webcut volume all with plane yplane offset 20
	CUBIT> webcut volume all with plane yplane offset -20 CUBIT>imprint all CUBIT>merge all

All of the volumes in this model are now one-to-one sweepable. However, the source and target surfaces for the main block portions must be set explicitly

CUBIT>volume 8 scheme Sweep source surface 94 target surface 90 rotate off

CUBIT>volume 10 scheme sweep source surface 71 target surface 73 rotate off

CUBIT>volume 12 scheme Sweep source surface 97 target surface 100 rotate off

CUBIT>volume all size 2

CUBIT>mesh volume all

Final mesh

In this model it is possible to have different sweep directions since the surfaces which overlap are both linking surfaces. The final mesh is created with a mesh size of 2 and is shown below.
