Detailed Description

Defines a hexahedron 3D algorithm.

It is created by calling smeshBuilder.Mesh.Hexahedron( smeshBuilder.MG_Hexa, geom=0 )

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

def __init__	(		self,
			mesh,
			geom = 0
	)

Private constructor.

Parameters

mesh	parent mesh object algorithm is assigned to
geom	geometry (shape/sub-shape) algorithm is assigned to; if it is 0 (default), the algorithm is assigned to the main shape

References Mesh_Algorithm.Create().

Member Function Documentation

def SetMinMaxHexes	(		self,
			min = 3,
			max = 8
	)

Defines "SetMinMaxHexes" hypothesis to give two MG-Hexa parameters.

Parameters

min	minimal level of recursive partitioning on the initial octree cube
max	maximal level of recursive partitioning on the initial octree cube

Returns

hypothesis object

References Hexotic_Algorithm.Parameters().

def SetMinMaxSize	(		self,
			min,
			max
	)

Defines "SetMinMaxSize" hypothesis to give two MG-Hexa parameters.

Parameters

min	minimal element's size
max	maximal element's size

Returns

hypothesis object

References Hexotic_Algorithm.Parameters().

def SetSizeMap	(		self,
			theObject,
			theSize
	)

Sets a size map.

Parameters

theObject	geometrical object to assign local size to
theSize	local size on the given object

Returns

hypothesis object

References Mesh_Algorithm.mesh, and Hexotic_Algorithm.Parameters().

def UnsetSizeMap	(		self,
			theObject
	)

Unsets a size map : this is meant to be used only by the dump.

Parameters

theObject

geometrical object to unassign local size

Returns

hypothesis object

def MinMaxQuad	(		self,
			min = 3,
			max = 8,
			quad = True
	)

(OBSOLETE) Defines "MinMaxQuad" hypothesis to give three MG-Hexa parameters

Parameters

min	minimal level of recursive partitioning on the initial octree cube
max	maximal level of recursive partitioning on the initial octree cube
quad	not documented

Returns

hypothesis object

References Hexotic_Algorithm.SetMinMaxHexes(), and Hexotic_Algorithm.SetViscousLayers().

def SetViscousLayers	(		self,
			numberOfLayers,
			firstLayerSize,
			growth,
			facesWithLayers,
			imprintedFaces = [],
			direction = Inward
	)

Defines "ViscousLayers" hypothesis to give MG-Hexa parameters.

Parameters

numberOfLayers	number of boundary layers
firstLayerSize	height of the first layer
growth	geometric progression for the boundary layer growth
direction	describes whether the layers grow inwards or outwards. Possible values are: smeshBuilder.Inward : means the layers grow inwards, smeshBuilder.Outward : means the layers grow outwards
facesWithLayers	list of surfaces from which the boundary layers should be grown
imprintedFaces	list of surfaces that can be imprinted by boundary layers

Returns

hypothesis object
