{ TWOZ_DIRECT.PDE
This problem constructs two non-coplanar spheres inside a box by constructing
a single dividing surface to delimit both spheres.
The domain consists of three layers.
layer 1 is the space below the spheres
layer 2 contains the sphere bodies, and is of zero thickness outside the spheres
layer 3 is the space above the spheres
The sphere interiors are Void, and are thus excluded from analysis. You could
just as well fill them with material if you wanted to model the insides.
The bounding surfaces of layer 2 are specified as a slope perpendicular to the
centerline of the spheres and over-ridden by regional expressions within
the (X,Y) extent of each sphere.
Click "Controls->Domain Review" to watch the mesh construction process.
See TWOZ_PLANAR.PDE, TWOZ_EXPORT.PDE and TWOZ_IMPORT.PDE for other methods of
treating spheres with centers on differing Z coordinates.
