Boundaries are assigned types that models within their associated continuum use to determine what conditions and values are required.
STAR-CCM+ recognizes nine different user selectable boundary types:
The availability of these boundary types is dependent on the specific models that have been activated within the continuum associated with the boundary.
Boundary types are initially assigned by STAR-CCM+ upon mesh import (based on information contained in the mesh being imported), but may be reassigned within STAR-CCM+.
Boundaries added through the creation of interfaces are assigned interface boundary types and names that you do not change.
