{ 3D_VOID.PDE  

 

 This example shows the use of empty layers in 3D applications.

 The VOID statement appears inside a REGION section, in the position of a

 layer parameter definition.

 The syntax is:

       LAYER number VOID

 This statement causes the stated layer to be excluded from the problem domain

 in the current REGION. (Remember that a REGION refers to a partition of the

 2D projection plane.)

 Boundary conditions on the surface of the void are specified by the standard

 boundary condition facilities.

 In this problem, we have a heat equation with an off-center void in an irregular

 figure.  The Y faces held at zero, the Z-faces are insulated, and the sides

 of the void are held at 1.
