Since version 2026, Flux 3D and Flux PEEC are no longer available.

Please use SimLab to create a new 3D project or to import an existing Flux 3D project.

Please use SimLab to create a new PEEC project (not possible to import an existing Flux PEEC project).

/!\ Documentation updates are in progress – some mentions of 3D may still appear.

Data management

Introduction

A finite element project contains a great volume of data, diverse and interrelated .

In terms of Flux software, these data (points, lines, …) are called entities and depend on project context (geometry, mesh, …).

This chapter presents the mode of general operation of Flux software (independently of context), i.e.:

  • the general organization of data (Flux database)
  • the data presentation (dialog boxes)

  • management of the entities

    (handling, information, export and selection of entities)

  • the general operations of data handling

    (creation, edition/modification, deletion)

  • the tools of graphic entities visualization

    (display and appearance of graphic entities in the graphic zone)
