Model.hm_getmeshfaceparams

Model.hm_getmeshfaceparams(surface)

Returns all of the relevant automesh settings applied to a surface face by Model.set_meshfaceparams(). If no automesh settings are applied, no values are returned.

Parameters:

surface (Entity) – The object describing the face (surface) entity of to query.

Returns:

• hwReturnStatus - Status object

• HmQueryResult - Result object containing the output values:

  • shapeType (int)

  • elementType (int)

  • meshingAlgorithm (int)

  • elementSize (double)

  • smoothMethod (int)

  • smoothTolerance (double)

  • sizeControl (int)

  • skewControl (int)

Example

Get the automesh parameters assigned to face with ID 1 after set them

import hm
import hm.entities as ent

model = hm.Model()

model.setedgedensitylinkwithaspectratio(aspectratio=-1.0)

model.interactiveremeshsurf(
    collection=hm.Collection(model, ent.Surface, [1]),
    elementsize=10.0,
    elem_type=2,
    elem_type2=2,
    forcing=2,
    size_control=1,
    skew_control=1,
)
model.set_meshfaceparams(

    size_control=1,
    skew_control=1,
)
model.automesh(face_index=0, algorithm=2, elem_type=2)
model.ameshclearsurface()
