Function Documentation

def CreateMeshesFromUNV	(		self,
			theFileName
	)

Create a Mesh object importing data from the given UNV file.

Returns

an instance of Mesh class

References smeshBuilder.geompyD.

def CreateMeshesFromMED	(		self,
			theFileName
	)

Create a Mesh object(s) importing data from the given MED file.

Returns

a tuple ( list of Mesh class instances, SMESH.DriverMED_ReadStatus )

References smeshBuilder.geompyD.

def CreateMeshesFromSAUV	(		self,
			theFileName
	)

Create a Mesh object(s) importing data from the given SAUV file.

Returns

a tuple ( list of Mesh class instances, SMESH.DriverMED_ReadStatus )

References smeshBuilder.geompyD.

def CreateMeshesFromSTL	(		self,
			theFileName
	)

Create a Mesh object importing data from the given STL file.

Returns

an instance of Mesh class

References smeshBuilder.geompyD.

def CreateMeshesFromCGNS	(		self,
			theFileName
	)

Create Mesh objects importing data from the given CGNS file.

Returns

a tuple ( list of Mesh class instances, SMESH.DriverMED_ReadStatus )

References smeshBuilder.geompyD.

def CreateMeshesFromGMF	(		self,
			theFileName
	)

Create a Mesh object importing data from the given GMF file.

GMF files must have .mesh extension for the ASCII format and .meshb for the binary format.

Returns

[ an instance of Mesh class, SMESH.ComputeError ]

def ExportMED	(		self,
			f,
			auto_groups = 0,
			version = MED_V2_2,
			overwrite = 1,
			meshPart = None,
			autoDimension = True,
			fields = [],
			geomAssocFields = ''
	)

Export the mesh in a file in MED format allowing to overwrite the file if it exists or add the exported data to its contents.

Parameters

f	is the file name
auto_groups	boolean parameter for creating/not creating the groups Group_On_All_Nodes, Group_On_All_Faces, ... ; the typical use is auto_groups=False.
version	MED format version (MED_V2_1 or MED_V2_2, the latter meaning any current version). The parameter is obsolete since MED_V2_1 is no longer supported.
overwrite	boolean parameter for overwriting/not overwriting the file
meshPart	a part of mesh (group, sub-mesh) to export instead of the mesh
autoDimension	if True (default), a space dimension of a MED mesh can be either 1D if all mesh nodes lie on OX coordinate axis, or 2D if all mesh nodes lie on XOY coordinate plane, or 3D in the rest cases. If autoDimension is False, the space dimension is always 3.
fields	list of GEOM fields defined on the shape to mesh.
geomAssocFields	each character of this string means a need to export a corresponding field; correspondence between fields and characters is following: 'v' stands for "_vertices _" field; 'e' stands for "_edges _" field; 'f' stands for "_faces _" field; 's' stands for "_solids _" field.

def ExportSAUV	(		self,
			f,
			auto_groups = 0
	)

Export the mesh in a file in SAUV format.

Parameters

f	is the file name
auto_groups	boolean parameter for creating/not creating the groups Group_On_All_Nodes, Group_On_All_Faces, ... ; the typical use is auto_groups=false.

def ExportDAT	(		self,
			f,
			meshPart = None
	)

Export the mesh in a file in DAT format.

Parameters

f	the file name
meshPart	a part of mesh (group, sub-mesh) to export instead of the mesh

References Mesh.GetIDSource().

def ExportUNV	(		self,
			f,
			meshPart = None
	)

Export the mesh in a file in UNV format.

Parameters

f	the file name
meshPart	a part of mesh (group, sub-mesh) to export instead of the mesh

References Mesh.GetIDSource().

def ExportSTL	(		self,
			f,
			ascii = 1,
			meshPart = None
	)

Export the mesh in a file in STL format.

Parameters

f	the file name
ascii	defines the file encoding
meshPart	a part of mesh (group, sub-mesh) to export instead of the mesh

References Mesh.GetIDSource().

def ExportCGNS	(		self,
			f,
			overwrite = 1,
			meshPart = None
	)

Export the mesh in a file in CGNS format.

Parameters

f	is the file name
overwrite	boolean parameter for overwriting/not overwriting the file
meshPart	a part of mesh (group, sub-mesh) to export instead of the mesh

References Mesh.GetIDSource(), and Mesh.mesh.

def ExportGMF	(		self,
			f,
			meshPart = None
	)

Export the mesh in a file in GMF format.

GMF files must have .mesh extension for the ASCII format and .meshb for the bynary format. Other extensions are not allowed.

Parameters

f	is the file name
meshPart	a part of mesh (group, sub-mesh) to export instead of the mesh

References Mesh.GetIDSource(), and Mesh.mesh.

def ExportToMED	(		self,
			f,
			version = MED_V2_2,
			opt = 0,
			overwrite = 1,
			autoDimension = True
	)

Deprecated, used only for compatibility! Please, use ExportMED() method instead.

Parameters

f	the file name
version	MED format version (MED_V2_1 or MED_V2_2, the latter meaning any current version). The parameter is obsolete since MED_V2_1 is no longer supported.
opt	boolean parameter for creating/not creating the groups Group_On_All_Nodes, Group_On_All_Faces, ...
overwrite	boolean parameter for overwriting/not overwriting the file
autoDimension	if True (default), a space dimension of a MED mesh can be either 1D if all mesh nodes lie on OX coordinate axis, or 2D if all mesh nodes lie on XOY coordinate plane, or 3D in the rest cases. If autoDimension is False, the space dimension is always 3.
