Model.CE_ConnectorAreaMesh

Model.CE_ConnectorAreaMesh(ce_collection, elementsize, elem_type, elem_type2, link_opposite_edge, size_control, skew_control, edge_mesh_algorithm, min_size, max_size, chordal_dev, max_angle, param1, param2)

Meshes area connectors.

Parameters:

• ce_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the area connectors.

• elementsize (double) – Element size for meshing.

• elem_type (int) –

  Flag indicating the elements generated for mapped meshing algorithms. Valid values are:

  0 - trias

  1 - quads

  2 - mixed

  3 - right trias

• elem_type2 (int) –

  Flag indicating the elements generated for free meshing algorithms. Valid values are:

  0 - trias

  1 - quads

  2 - mixed

  3 - right trias

• link_opposite_edge (int) –

  Make opposite edge having the same node density.

  0 - No

  1 - Yes

• size_control (int) –

  Determines if uniform size elements in mapping algorithms should be created.

  0 - No

  1 - Yes

• skew_control (int) –

  Determines if optimal shape elements in mapping algorithms should be created.

  0 - No

  1 - Yes

• edge_mesh_algorithm (int) –

  Determines the algorithm for edge/surface meshing:

  0 - Standard edge meshing.

  1 - Chordal deviation edge meshing.

• min_size (double) – Minimum edge size for chordal deviation edge meshing.

• max_size (double) – Maximum edge size for chordal deviation edge meshing.

• chordal_dev (double) – Chordal deviation for chordal deviation edge meshing.

• max_angle (double) – Maximum angle value (in degrees) between edges for chordal deviation edge meshing.

• param1 (int) – Reserved for future development.

• param2 (double) – Reserved for future development.

Example

Create quads with a default edge size of 1.0 for the area connector with ID 3
