def QuadToTri	(		self,
			IDsOfElements,
			theCriterion
	)		[inherited]

Splits quadrangles into triangles.

Parameters:

IDsOfElements	the faces to be splitted.
theCriterion	FT_...; used to choose a diagonal for splitting.

Returns:

TRUE in case of success, FALSE otherwise.

def QuadToTriObject	(		self,
			theObject,
			theCriterion
	)		[inherited]

Splits quadrangles into triangles.

Parameters:

theObject	the object from which the list of elements is taken, this is mesh, submesh or group
theCriterion	FT_...; used to choose a diagonal for splitting.

Returns:

TRUE in case of success, FALSE otherwise.

def SplitQuad	(		self,
			IDsOfElements,
			Diag13
	)		[inherited]

Splits quadrangles into triangles.

Parameters:

IDsOfElements	the faces to be splitted
Diag13	is used to choose a diagonal for splitting.

Returns:

TRUE in case of success, FALSE otherwise.

def SplitQuadObject	(		self,
			theObject,
			Diag13
	)		[inherited]

Splits quadrangles into triangles.

Parameters:

theObject	the object from which the list of elements is taken, this is mesh, submesh or group
Diag13	is used to choose a diagonal for splitting.

Returns:

TRUE in case of success, FALSE otherwise.

def BestSplit	(		self,
			IDOfQuad,
			theCriterion
	)		[inherited]

Finds a better splitting of the given quadrangle.

Parameters:

IDOfQuad	the ID of the quadrangle to be splitted.
theCriterion	FT_...; a criterion to choose a diagonal for splitting.

Returns:

1 if 1-3 diagonal is better, 2 if 2-4 diagonal is better, 0 if error occurs.

def SplitVolumesIntoTetra	(		self,
			elemIDs,
			method = Hex_5Tet
	)		[inherited]

Splits volumic elements into tetrahedrons.

Parameters:

elemIDs	either list of elements or mesh or group or submesh
method	flags passing splitting method: Hex_5Tet, Hex_6Tet, Hex_24Tet Hex_5Tet - split the hexahedron into 5 tetrahedrons, etc
