def Make2DMeshFrom3D

(

self

)

[inherited]

Creates 2D mesh as skin on boundary faces of a 3D mesh.

Returns:

TRUE if operation has been completed successfully, FALSE otherwise

def MakeBoundaryMesh	(		self,
			elements,
			dimension = SMESH.BND_2DFROM3D,
			groupName = "",
			meshName = "",
			toCopyElements = False,
			toCopyExistingBondary = False
	)		[inherited]

Creates missing boundary elements.

Parameters:

elements	- elements whose boundary is to be checked: mesh, group, sub-mesh or list of elements if elements is mesh, it must be the mesh whose MakeBoundaryMesh() is called
dimension	- defines type of boundary elements to create: SMESH.BND_2DFROM3D, SMESH.BND_1DFROM3D, SMESH.BND_1DFROM2D SMESH.BND_1DFROM3D creates mesh edges on all borders of free facets of 3D cells
groupName	- a name of group to store created boundary elements in, "" means not to create the group
meshName	- a name of new mesh to store created boundary elements in, "" means not to create the new mesh
toCopyElements	- if true, the checked elements will be copied into the new mesh else only boundary elements will be copied into the new mesh
toCopyExistingBondary	- if true, not only new but also pre-existing boundary elements will be copied into the new mesh

Returns:

tuple (mesh, group) where bondary elements were added to

def ChangeElemNodes	(		self,
			ide,
			newIDs
	)		[inherited]

Sets new nodes for the given element.

Parameters:

ide	the element id
newIDs	nodes ids

Returns:

If the number of nodes does not correspond to the type of element - returns false

def DoubleNode	(		self,
			theNodeId,
			theModifiedElems
	)		[inherited]

Creates a hole in a mesh by doubling the nodes of some particular elements This method provided for convenience works as DoubleNodes() described above.

Parameters:

theNodeId	identifiers of node to be doubled
theModifiedElems	identifiers of elements to be updated

Returns:

TRUE if operation has been completed successfully, FALSE otherwise

def DoubleNodeGroup	(		self,
			theNodes,
			theModifiedElems,
			theMakeGroup = False
	)		[inherited]

Creates a hole in a mesh by doubling the nodes of some particular elements This method provided for convenience works as DoubleNodes() described above.

Parameters:

theNodes	group of nodes to be doubled
theModifiedElems	group of elements to be updated.
theMakeGroup	forces the generation of a group containing new nodes.

Returns:

TRUE or a created group if operation has been completed successfully, FALSE or None otherwise

def DoubleNodeGroups	(		self,
			theNodes,
			theModifiedElems,
			theMakeGroup = False
	)		[inherited]

Creates a hole in a mesh by doubling the nodes of some particular elements This method provided for convenience works as DoubleNodes() described above.

Parameters:

theNodes	list of groups of nodes to be doubled
theModifiedElems	list of groups of elements to be updated.

Returns:

TRUE if operation has been completed successfully, FALSE otherwise

def DoubleNodeElem	(		self,
			theElems,
			theNodesNot,
			theAffectedElems
	)		[inherited]

Creates a hole in a mesh by doubling the nodes of some particular elements.

Parameters:

theElems	- the list of elements (edges or faces) to be replicated The nodes for duplication could be found from these elements
theNodesNot	- list of nodes to NOT replicate
theAffectedElems	- the list of elements (cells and edges) to which the replicated nodes should be associated to.

Returns:

TRUE if operation has been completed successfully, FALSE otherwise

def DoubleNodeElemInRegion	(		self,
			theElems,
			theNodesNot,
			theShape
	)		[inherited]

Parameters:

theElems	- the list of elements (edges or faces) to be replicated The nodes for duplication could be found from these elements
theNodesNot	- list of nodes to NOT replicate
theShape	- shape to detect affected elements (element which geometric center located on or inside shape). The replicated nodes should be associated to affected elements.

Returns:

TRUE if operation has been completed successfully, FALSE otherwise
