The definitions of the rules for reg= and reginbox= are the same as that for the region mesh in Section 6.1.1.

To save calculation time, an outer void defined by the radius r-out has been introduced. A larger r-out value must be used when using a large geometry or when placing the light source and eye point at long distances. As this new outer void definition can be seen in input echo, input echo cannot be used by icntl=11 as an input for the next calculation.

No shadow is created if the eye point and light source are set in the same position.

7.22.1. Box definition

A maximum of five penetration boxes can be defined; defined boxes become transparent. To define a box, three points must first be set as b0**(x0,y0,z0), **b1**(x1,y1,z1), and **b2**(x2,y2,z2), respectively. The fourth point **b3 from b0 is defined to lie L cm in the vertical direction of the plane defined by these three points, that is, in the (b2 - b0) direction. In the box definition, a coordinate transformation such as trcl= transform number or trcl = (……..) can be used prior to the definition of the points.

This function may fail when a void region is included in the penetration box; in this case, the user should fill the void region with a material of very low density, for example air.

The box definition is shown below. Each relation is also shown in Fig. 7.22.2.

Listing 7.22.1 Example of box definition

      box = 2
      box   x0  y0  z0
            x1  y1  z1
            x2  y2  z2  L

            x0  y0  z0
            x1  y1  z1
            x2  y2  z2  L
      box   *trcl = (0 0 0  0 90 90  90 60 150  90 30 60  -1)
            0.0  0.0  0.0
           -5.0  0.0  0.0
            0.0  0.0  5.0   5.0

In the above geometry, the overall body is a rectangular solid with rectangular solid lattices including cylinders on the interior. A graphical plot for the geometry can be created using 3dshow as follows.

Listing 7.22.3 [t-3dshow] example (2)

     1:  [t-3dshow]
     2:     output = 3
     3:     heaven = x
     4:     resol = 2
     5:     width = 0.1
     6:     x0 =  0
     7:     y0 =  0
     8:     z0 = 25
     9:     e-the = 70
    10:     e-phi = 50
    11:     e-dst = 1000
    12:     l-the = 50
    13:     l-phi = 25
    14:     l-dst = 2000
    15:     w-wdt = 60
    16:     w-hgt = 40
    17:     w-dst = 150
    18:     file = dshow.dat

The output result is then

Fig. 7.22.3 Example output of [t-3dshow].

A region boundary can be added using option line=1 to produce the following box, which shows how the lattices are set up:

Fig. 7.22.4 Example output with line=1.

Setting material number 5 to be transparent and adding shadows using

Listing 7.22.4 Example additional setting for transparency and shadow

      material = -1
                  5
        shadow =  2

produces the following box:

Fig. 7.22.5 Example output with transparent material and shadow.

Next, defining the following box:

Listing 7.22.5 Example additional box setting

      box = 1
      box    0  10  30
           100  10  30
             0  10  100 100

produces a transparent box that shows the inside of its body:

Fig. 7.22.6 Example output with a transparent box.

As a final example, by adding

Listing 7.22.6 Example additional setting for reg and matinbox

      reg = ( 3 < 6[0 0 0] )
      matinbox = 1
                 6

the regions defined by reg = (3 < 6[0 0 0]) become transparent and material number 6 becomes visible:

Fig. 7.22.7 Example output with transparent region and visible material.

Any number of complex structure types can be created by combining the above options.
