*rebuild_mesh_advanced
Remesh/Improve selected shell elements with quality and flow considerations, and optional flow guide selections to guide the mesh directions.
Syntax
*rebuild_mesh_advanced mark_id ?<option1>=<value1>? ?<option2>=<value2>? ... ?<optionN>=<valueN>?
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command
Description
- Surface hole recognition table
- Feature angle during element cleanup
- Element type
- Mesh type
1Ds attached to the input shell elements are used as features and they significantly impact the mesh quality and flow. If no 1Ds are present in the shells of the input elements, the specified feature angle is internally used to recognize features.
Rebuild/improve is currently supported for first-order shell elements that are not attached to solid elements.
Inputs
- mark_id
- The ID of the mark of elements to rebuild or improve. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- flow_guides=<value>
- A set of lines that are used to guide the mesh directions. Each line is composed of a list of points, and it follows a format of "number_of_points p1_x p1_y p1_z p2_x p2_y p2_z ?p3_x? ?p3_y? ?p3_z? ... ?pN_x? ?pN_y? ?pN_z?".
- keep_selection=<value>
- Flag to keep the element selection for selective rerun. Valid values are:
- mode=<value>
- The mode of the operation. Valid values are:
- rebuild_connectors=<value>
- Flag to rebuild connectors. Valid values are true and false (default).
