Model.blmesh_2d_input_nonbl#

Model.blmesh_2d_input_nonbl(fixed_collection, float_collection, float_mode)#

Specifies non-boundary layer input for Model.blmesh_2d2(), Model.blmesh2d_computeblthickness1() and Model.blmesh_2d_computeblthickness(). If this function is not called before either functions, then all edges of the selected region are considered as boundary layer edges.

If blmesh_2d_input_nonbl() is not called before either function, then all edges of the selected region are considered as boundary layer edges.

Parameters:

  • fixed_collection (Collection) –

    The collection containing the entities for fixed non-boundary layer. Valid entity types depend on the base_collection value specified in blmesh_2d2() (or on the others mentioned in the description).

    If the entities in base_collection are surfaces, then the only valid entities in the fixed_collection are lines.

    If the entities in base_collection are elements, then the only valid entities in the fixed_collection are nodes or elements. For elements, only elements of typename=PLOTEL are allowed.

  • float_collection (Collection) –

    The collection containing the entities for float non-boundary layer. Valid entity types depend on the base_collection value specified in blmesh_2d2() (or on the others mentioned in the description).

    If the entities in base_collection are surfaces, then the only valid entities in the float_collection are lines.

    If the entities in base_collection are elements, then the only valid entities in the float_collection are nodes or elements. For elements, only elements of typename=PLOTEL are allowed.

  • float_mode (int) –

    Option to specify behavior of float non-boundary layer entities. Valid options are:

    0 - Do nothing special.

    1 - Use remesh option.

Example#

Create a 5 layer boundary mesh with a quad dominated mesh of size 2.0 on surface with ID 10 , with the first layer be 0.15 thick and a growth rate of 1.2 , use boundary layer elements with IDs 10 and 11 as fixed and 12 and 13 as float , and non - boundary layer elements with IDs 1 and 2 as fixed and 5 and 6 as float#

import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

# Boundary layer elements
