`MeshSegmentWireCollection`

A collection of wires meshed with segments.

Example

application = cf.Application.GetInstance()
project = application:NewProject()

    -- Settings for normal meshing

advancedMeshSettings = project.Mesher.Settings.Advanced
advancedMeshSettings.CurvilinearSegments = cf.Enums.MeshCurvilinearOptionsEnum.Disabled

project.Contents.SolutionConfigurations.GlobalFrequency.Start = "1e08"

    -- Create geometry and mesh

project.Contents.Geometry:AddHelix(cf.Point(0,0,0), 0.1, 0.1, 1.0, 5.0, false)
project.Mesher.Settings.WireRadius = "0.01"
project.Mesher:Mesh()
project.Contents.Geometry["Helix1"]:UnlinkMesh()

    -- Obtain a handle to the 'MeshSegmentWireCollection'

meshSegmentWires = project.Contents.Meshes["Helix1_1"].Wires

    -- Store the number of mesh segment wires

meshSegmentWiresCount = meshSegmentWires.Count

Inheritance

The MeshSegmentWireCollection object is derived from the Object object.

Usage locations

The MeshSegmentWireCollection object can be accessed from the following locations:

Collection lists
- Mesh object has collection Wires.

Property List

Count: The number of MeshWire items in the collection. (Read only number)
Label: The object label. (Read/Write string)
Type: The object type string. (Read only string)

Method List

Contains (label string): Checks if the collection contains an item with the given label. (Returns a boolean object.)
Delete (): Deletes the entity.
Duplicate (): Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
GetProperties (): Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
Item (index number): Returns the MeshWire for the given index in the collection. (Returns a MeshWire object.)
Item (label string): Returns the MeshWire for the given label in the collection. (Returns a MeshWire object.)
Items (): Returns a table of MeshWire items. (Returns a UnsupportedType(List of MeshWire) object.)
SetProperties (properties Object): Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.
UniqueName (label string): Generates a unique name base of the provided base name. If the base name already exists in the collection, a digit will be appended until a valid name is generated. (Returns a string object.)

Static Function List

GetDefaultProperties (): Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object. (Returns a table object.)

Property Details

Count

The number of MeshWire items in the collection.

Type: number
Access: Read only

Label

The object label.

Type: string
Access: Read/Write

Type

The object type string.

Type: string
Access: Read only

Method Details

Contains (label string)

Checks if the collection contains an item with the given label.

Input Parameters

label(string): The label of the item.

Return

boolean: The success of the check.

Delete ()

Deletes the entity.

Duplicate ()

Duplicates the entity.

Return

Object: The new (duplicated) entity.

GetProperties ()

Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step.

Return

table: A table defining the properties.

Item (index number)

Returns the MeshWire for the given index in the collection.

Input Parameters

index(number): The index of the MeshWire.

Return

MeshWire: The item in the collection

Item (label string)

Returns the MeshWire for the given label in the collection.

Input Parameters

label(string): The label of the MeshWire.

Return

MeshWire: The item in the collection

Items ()

Returns a table of MeshWire items.

Return

UnsupportedType(List of MeshWire): The list of items in the collection

SetProperties (properties Object)

Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.

Input Parameters

properties(Object): A table of properties defining the new state of the object.

UniqueName (label string)

Generates a unique name base of the provided base name. If the base name already exists in the collection, a digit will be appended until a valid name is generated.

Input Parameters

label(string): The base name.

Return

string: The generated unique name label for the item.

Static Function Details

GetDefaultProperties ()

Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object.

Return

table: A table containing the default properties.
