MeshFind

The mesh find tools.

Example

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

    -- Settings for normal meshing


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

    -- Create geometry

cuboid1 = project.Contents.Geometry:AddCuboid(cf.Point(0, 0, 0), 1, 1, 1)
cuboid1:UnlinkMesh()

    -- Obtain the 'MeshFind' object

meshFind = project.Contents.Meshes.Find

    -- Check there are no intersecting meshes

intersectingMeshes = meshFind:GetIntersectingMeshes()

if #intersectingMeshes > 0 then
    print("There are intersecting mesh elements.")
else
    print("There are no intersecting mesh elements.")
end

    -- Add another cuboid

cuboid2 = project.Contents.Geometry:AddCuboid(cf.Point(0.5, 0.5, 0.5), 1, 1, 1)
cuboid2:UnlinkMesh()

    -- Check for intersecting meshes

intersectingMeshes = meshFind:GetIntersectingMeshes()

if #intersectingMeshes > 0 then
    print("There are intersecting mesh elements.")
else
    print("There are no intersecting mesh elements.")
end

Inheritance

The MeshFind object is derived from the Object object.

Usage locations

The MeshFind object can be accessed from the following locations:

Property List

Label
The object label. (Read/Write string)
Type
The object type string. (Read only string)

Method List

CountIntersectingElements (meshpartlist List of Mesh)
Checks if there are mesh elements intersecting within a subset of mesh parts. (Returns a number object.)
Delete ()
Deletes the entity.
Duplicate ()
Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
GetIntersectingMeshes ()
Returns meshes with mesh triangles that intersect but are not connected. (Returns a List of Mesh object.)
GetIntersectingMeshes (meshpartlist List of Mesh)
Returns meshes with mesh triangles that intersect but are not connected within a subset of mesh parts. (Returns a List of Mesh 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.)
HasDistortedElements (mininternalangle number)
Checks if there are mesh elements that are distorted. This is calculated using the specified minimum internal angle. (Returns a boolean object.)
HasDistortedElements (mininternalangle number, meshpartlist List of Mesh)
Checks if there are mesh elements that are distorted within a subset of mesh parts. This is calculated using the specified minimum internal angle. (Returns a boolean object.)
HasOversizedElements (maxlength number)
Checks if there are mesh elements that are oversized within a subset of mesh parts. This is calculated using a specified maximum length. (Returns a boolean object.)
HasOversizedTriangles (edgelength number)
Checks if there are mesh triangles that are oversized. This is calculated using a specified maximum edge length. (Returns a boolean object.)
HasOversizedTriangles (edgelength number, meshpartlist List of Mesh)
Checks if there are mesh triangles that are oversized within a subset of mesh parts. This is calculated using a specified maximum edge length. (Returns a boolean 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.)
