PolylineRefinement

A point refinement meshing rule. Objects in the vicinity of the polyline are meshed finer.

Example

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

    -- Create a mesh refinement polyline at the specified corners

corners = {cf.Point(), cf.Point(1, 0, 0), cf.Point(1, 1, 0)}
pointRefinement = project.Contents.MeshRefinementRules:AddPolylineRefinement(corners, 0.1, 0.01)

    -- Change the polyline refinement radius to 0.2

pointRefinement.Radius = 0.2

Inheritance

The PolylineRefinement object is derived from the MeshRefinementRule object.

Usage locations

The PolylineRefinement object can be accessed from the following locations:
