Detailed Description

Function Documentation

def ConvertToQuadratic	(		self,
			theForce3d = False,
			theSubMesh = None,
			theToBiQuad = False
	)

Convert the mesh to quadratic or bi-quadratic, deletes old elements, replacing them with quadratic with the same id.

Parameters

theForce3d	new node creation method: 0 - the medium node lies at the geometrical entity from which the mesh element is built 1 - the medium node lies at the middle of the line segments connecting two nodes of a mesh element
theSubMesh	a group or a sub-mesh to convert; WARNING: in this case the mesh can become not conformal
theToBiQuad	If True, converts the mesh to bi-quadratic

Returns

SMESH.ComputeError which can hold a warning

def ConvertFromQuadratic	(		self,
			theSubMesh = None
	)

Convert the mesh from quadratic to ordinary, deletes old quadratic elements,
replacing them with ordinary mesh elements with the same id.

Parameters

theSubMesh

a group or a sub-mesh to convert; WARNING: in this case the mesh can become not conformal
