Geometry
Geometry Formation
FLOOXS forms geometries using the level set method. This method allows FLOOXS to solve the moving boundary problem on a special finite element grid called an anisotropic mesh (anisomesh). A geometry is available for processing anytime a solution is available on the anisomesh. Geometries fit broadly in two categories: deposition and etch. A deposition creates a new material mesh on top of an existing mesh. An etch cuts into a material stack.
Mesh Generation
Three meshing engines are available in FLOOXS:
- GMSH
- Triangle
- Internal (etch only)
