Enum CoolantMode

Namespace
Hi.Numerical
Assembly
HiGeom.dll

Cutting-fluid delivery mode parsed from typical NC coolant machine functions (e.g. M07 / M08 / M09). Values are consumed by higher-level machining simulation and thermal models that map each mode to convection and temperature assumptions.

Fields

Flood = 3

Flood coolant (M08). High-volume liquid stream (typically 0.5–10 L/min of water-based emulsion); used as the reference mode for full liquid-jet convection in downstream thermal calculations.

Mist = 2

Mist coolant / Minimum Quantity Lubrication, MQL (M07). Fine oil aerosol; relies primarily on evaporation for heat removal. Empirically about half the convective heat-transfer of flood coolant; thermal solvers typically apply a configurable mist-to-flood convection ratio when this mode is active.

Off = 1

Coolant off (M09). No active coolant stream.

UnDefined = 0

Undefined / uninitialised. State before the first coolant act has been processed. Treated as Off by physics consumers.
