Model.hmmeshspin#

Model.hmmeshspin(quads)#

Within the automeshing module, generates quad or tria elements using a surfaceless algorithm. Can only be used together with model.surfacemode(mode=3) and one of the Model.surfacecreatespinlinewithoffsetangle() or Model.surfacecreatespinnodeswithoffsetangle() function.

Parameters:

quads (int) – If nonzero, specifies that the created elements should be quads.

Example#

Spinnig line with ID 4 forty-five degrees about the given axis to identify a region approximating a surface of revolution, and without actually making a surface, creates 150 elements (15 on the line and 10 on the spin)#
