Model.storemeshtodatabase

Model.storemeshtodatabase(elemstosurfcomp)

Converts a generated mesh (if any) into elements in the specified component.

Parameters:

elemstosurfcomp (int) – If non-zero, new elements are created in the surface component to which they belong. Otherwise, they are created in the current component.

Example

Create the new elements in the current component. For a complete example, please see functions Model.ameshclearsurface() or Model.interactivemeshsurf().

# Before we have set the edge and face parameters for automeshing module for a surface
# Discarding mesh of face 2
model.rejectmesh(faceindex=2)

# Setting again new parameters for face 2 and after setting new parameters...
#...new elements are generated  for the current surface.
