Mesh generator: definition (structure)
Definition
A mesh generator is defined by:
- a name (and a comment)
- a type
- specific characteristics belonging to a type
Name
The name to identify the mesh generator is set by the user during the creation of this one.
A comment (optional) can be added to the name.
Types of mesh generators
The different types of mesh generators and the characteristics useful for their description are gathered in the tables below.
| Type of mesh generator | Description |
|---|---|
| automatic | predefined mesh generator |
| mapped | predefined mesh generator |
| no mesh | predefined mesh generator |
| linked | geometric transformation |
| extrusion | geometric transformation |
| layers |
height of layers (choice between defining all layers or first layer) number of layers geometric progression coefficient of layers dominant element type in remaining volume |
