`MeshTetrahedronRegion`

A mesh entity representing a region meshed with tetrahedra.

Example

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

    -- Set the frequency

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

    -- Create geometry, set the solution method to FEM

cuboid = project.Contents.Geometry:AddCuboidAtCentre(cf.Point(0,0,0), 1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
dielectric = project.Definitions.Media.Dielectric:AddDielectric(0.01,0.01,0.01)
cuboid.Regions["Region1"].Medium = dielectric
cuboid.Regions["Region1"].SolutionMethod = cf.Enums.RegionSolutionMethodEnum.FEM

	-- Mesh

project.Mesher:Mesh()
project.Contents.Geometry["Cuboid1"]:UnlinkMesh()

tetrahedronRegions = project.Contents.Meshes["Cuboid1_1"].Regions

for i in ipairs(tetrahedronRegions) do

    -- Obtain the 'MeshTetrahedronRegion' and set its local size

    meshTetrahedronRegion = tetrahedronRegions[i]
    meshTetrahedronRegion.LocalMeshSize = 0.01;
    meshTetrahedronRegion.LocalMeshSizeEnabled = true;
end

Inheritance

The MeshTetrahedronRegion object is derived from the MeshRegion object.

Property List

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.)
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.)
