MeshExporter
The mesh exporter.
Example
application = cf.Application.GetInstance() project = application:Load({FEKO_HOME..[[/shared/Resources/Automation/Helix_dipole.cfx]]}) -- Export the entire mesh to a NASTRAN file project.Exporter.Mesh.ExportFileFormat = cf.Enums.ExportMeshFileFormatEnum.NASTRAN project.Mesher:Mesh() project.Exporter.Mesh:Export([[temp_Export_all.nas]]) -- Export a single mesh part to a NASTRAN file project.Contents.Geometry[1]:UnlinkMesh() project.Exporter.Mesh.ExportFileFormat = cf.Enums.ExportMeshFileFormatEnum.NASTRAN project.Mesher:Mesh() project.Exporter.Mesh:ExportParts([[temp_Export_part1.nas]], {}, {project.Contents.Meshes[1]})
Inheritance
The MeshExporter object is derived from the Object object.
Usage locations
The MeshExporter object can be accessed from the following locations:
Property List
- ExportFileFormat
- The export file format. (Read/Write ExportMeshFileFormatEnum)
- ExportMeshType
- The type of mesh to export. (Read/Write ExportMeshTypeEnum)
- ExportOnlyBoundingFacesEnabled
- Export only the bounding faces of volume meshes. (Read/Write boolean)
- Label
- The object label. (Read/Write string)
- MirrorHorizontallyAroundYAxisEnabled
- Mirror geometry horizontally around Y-axis. Only valid if ExportFileFormat is Gerber. (Read/Write boolean)
- ProjectOntoXYPlaneEnabled
- Project the 3D geometry on a 2D plane. Only valid if ExportFileFormat is DXF. (Read/Write boolean)
- ScaleToMetreEnabled
- Scale the mesh to metre before export. (Read/Write boolean)
- Type
- The object type string. (Read only string)
Method List
- Delete ()
- Deletes the entity.
- Duplicate ()
- Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
- Export (filename string)
- Export to the specified file.
- ExportParts (filename string, geomoperatorlist List of Geometry, meshentitylist List of Mesh)
- Export only the specified meshes to the specified file.
- 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.)
- 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.
Static Function List
- GetDefaultProperties ()
- Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object. (Returns a table object.)
