RadiationMatrixMethod.geom(k2d='', ndiv='', **kwargs)

Defines the geometry specifications for the radiation matrix calculation.

Mechanical APDL Command: GEOM

Parameters:

k2dint or str

Dimensionality key:

• 0 - 3D geometry (default)

• 1 - 2D geometry (plane or axisymmetric)

ndivstr

Number of divisions in an axisymmetric model. Used only with K2D = 1. Defaults to 0 (2D plane). The 2D model is internally expanded to a 3D model based on the number of divisions specified (6 \(equation not available\) NDIV \(equation not available\) 90). For example, NDIV of 6 is internally represented by six 60° sections.
