Detailed Description

Function Documentation

def DeleteDiag	(		self,
			NodeID1,
			NodeID2
	)

Replace two neighbour triangles sharing Node1-Node2 link with a quadrangle built on the same 4 nodes.

Parameters

NodeID1	the ID of the first node
NodeID2	the ID of the second node

Returns

false if proper faces were not found

def TriToQuad	(		self,
			IDsOfElements,
			theCriterion,
			MaxAngle
	)

Fuse the neighbouring triangles into quadrangles.

Parameters

IDsOfElements	The triangles to be fused.
theCriterion	a numerical functor, in terms of enum SMESH.FunctorType, used to applied to possible quadrangles to choose a neighbour to fuse with. Type SMESH.FunctorType._items in the Python Console to see all items. Note that not all items correspond to numerical functors.
MaxAngle	is the maximum angle between element normals at which the fusion is still performed; theMaxAngle is mesured in radians. Also it could be a name of variable which defines angle in degrees.

Returns

TRUE in case of success, FALSE otherwise.

def TriToQuadObject	(		self,
			theObject,
			theCriterion,
			MaxAngle
	)

Fuse the neighbouring triangles of the object into quadrangles.

Parameters

theObject	is mesh, submesh or group
theCriterion	is a numerical functor, in terms of enum SMESH.FunctorType, applied to possible quadrangles to choose a neighbour to fuse with. Type SMESH.FunctorType._items in the Python Console to see all items. Note that not all items correspond to numerical functors.
MaxAngle	a max angle between element normals at which the fusion is still performed; theMaxAngle is mesured in radians.

Returns

TRUE in case of success, FALSE otherwise.
