Model.hmmeshsurfacecone

Model.hmmeshsurfacecone(quads)

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

Parameters:

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

Example

Identify a cylindrical region of radius 100.0 and height 200.0 , and then has the automesher create 300.0 elements on it , with a density of 10.0 up the side and 30.0 around the circumference

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()
