`EdgeMeshPort`

An edge mesh port which is created along an edge defining the boundary between two sets of mesh faces.

Example

application = cf.Application.GetInstance()
project = application:Load({FEKO_HOME..[[/shared/Resources/Automation/MeshPorts.cfx]]})

union1 = project.Contents.Geometry['Union1']

    -- Unlink the Mesh. 'EdgeMeshPorts' are generated automatically from 'EdgePorts'

union1:UnlinkMesh()

    -- Get the 'EdgeMeshPort' associated with the 'EdgePort' labelled 'EdgePort1'

edgeMeshPort = project.Contents.Ports['EdgePort1_1']

    -- Query whether the EdgeMeshPort is faulty

isFaulty = edgeMeshPort.Faulty

Inheritance

Method List

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.)
RotateSchematicSymbol (): Rotates the item on the schematic.
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.
SetSchematicLocation (location GridLocation): Sets the location of the item on the schematic.
SetSchematicRotation (rotation SymbolRotationEnum): Sets the rotation of the item on the schematic.

Static Function List

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

Method Details

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.

RotateSchematicSymbol ()

Rotates the item on the schematic.

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.

SetSchematicLocation (location GridLocation)

Sets the location of the item on the schematic.

Input Parameters

location(GridLocation): The schematic location the item should be moved to.

SetSchematicRotation (rotation SymbolRotationEnum)

Sets the rotation of the item on the schematic.

Input Parameters

rotation(SymbolRotationEnum): The rotation setting.

Static Function Details

GetDefaultProperties ()

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

Return

table: A table containing the default properties.
