def smesh.MinDistance	(		self,
			src1,
			src2 = None,
			id1 = 0,
			id2 = 0,
			isElem1 = False,
			isElem2 = False
	)

Get minimum distance between two objects.

If src2 is None, and id2 = 0, distance from src1 / id1 to the origin is computed. If src2 is None, and id2 != 0, it is assumed that both id1 and id2 belong to src1.

Parameters:

src1	first source object
src2	second source object
id1	node/element id from the first source
id2	node/element id from the second (or first) source
isElem1	True if id1 is element id, False if it is node id
isElem2	True if id2 is element id, False if it is node id

Returns:

minimum distance value

def smesh.GetMinDistance	(		self,
			src1,
			src2 = None,
			id1 = 0,
			id2 = 0,
			isElem1 = False,
			isElem2 = False
	)

Get measure structure specifying minimum distance data between two objects.

If src2 is None, and id2 = 0, distance from src1 / id1 to the origin is computed. If src2 is None, and id2 != 0, it is assumed that both id1 and id2 belong to src1.

Parameters:

src1	first source object
src2	second source object
id1	node/element id from the first source
id2	node/element id from the second (or first) source
isElem1	True if id1 is element id, False if it is node id
isElem2	True if id2 is element id, False if it is node id

Returns:

Measure structure or None if input data is invalid
