Project data (entities)

What are the handled data?

The handled data (entities) depend on the phase of the finite elements project description: geometry, mesh, physics.

They are listed in the data tree (figure below) and are detailed in the different corresponding chapters: Geometry / Mesh / Physics / Solver / Post-processing.

Classification

It is possible to distinguish two families of entities (graphic / non-graphic), as presented in the table below.
