Detailed Description

Function Documentation

def Reorient	(		self,
			IDsOfElements = None
	)

Reorient elements by ids.

Parameters

IDsOfElements

if undefined reorients all mesh elements

Returns

True if succeed else False

References Mesh.GetElementsId().

def ReorientObject	(		self,
			theObject
	)

Reorient all elements of the object.

Parameters

theObject

mesh, submesh or group

Returns

True if succeed else False

def Reorient2D	(		self,
			the2DObject,
			theDirection,
			theFaceOrPoint
	)

Reorient faces contained in the2DObject.

Parameters

the2DObject	is a mesh, sub-mesh, group or list of IDs of 2D elements
theDirection	is a desired direction of normal of theFace. It can be either a GEOM vector or a list of coordinates [x,y,z].
theFaceOrPoint	defines a face of the2DObject whose normal will be compared with theDirection. It can be either ID of face or a point by which the face will be found. The point can be given as either a GEOM vertex or a list of point coordinates.

Returns

number of reoriented faces

def Reorient2DBy3D	(		self,
			the2DObject,
			the3DObject,
			theOutsideNormal = True
	)

Reorient faces according to adjacent volumes.

Parameters

the2DObject	is a mesh, sub-mesh, group or list of either IDs of faces or face groups.
the3DObject	is a mesh, sub-mesh, group or list of IDs of volumes.
theOutsideNormal	to orient faces to have their normals pointing either outside or inside the adjacent volumes.

Returns

number of reoriented faces.
