Model.solidmap_solids_begin3

Model.solidmap_solids_begin3(solidcollection, elemsize, dest_hint_collection=s_defaultCollection, elem_type=2, orthogonal_extrusion=0, src_hint_collection=s_defaultCollection)

Initializes the line mesh parameters after resolving the density conflicts of the lines in the solid. Balances all the line densities (resolves all density conflicts), initializes the mesh parameters of these lines, and sets all possible source faces as mapped and the remainder as free.

Must be called before Model.solidmap_solids_begin or Model.solidmap_solids_begin2.

Parameters:

• solidcollection (Collection) – The collection containing the solids to mesh.

• elemsize (double) – The default element size when the per edge/face meshing parameters are not available.

• dest_hint_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the optional destination hint surfaces.

• elem_type (unsigned int) –

  The 2D element type when per face meshing parameters are not available:

  0 - Tria

  1 - Quad

  2 - Mixed

• orthogonal_extrusion (unsigned int) –

  0 - Make the reparameterization of along faces more orthogonal

  1 - Make the reparameterization of along faces more like parallelograms

• src_hint_collection (Collection) – The collection containing the optional source hint surfaces.

Example

Initialize the mesh parameters of lines of solid ID 1 without giving any source or destination surface hints

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

solid_col = hm.Collection(model,ent.Solid,[1])

model.solidmap_solids_begin3(solid_col, elemsize=2.0, elem_type=2)
