Description
Converts FE geometry from selected elements.
Inputs
- mark_id
- The ID for the mark containing the input elements. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- 1d_topology_mode=<value>
- 0 – Input 1D elements are used to add feature edges into connected topological faces but do not become part of the topological body (default). Note that the corresponding feature edge is added only if 1D elements are found to be connected to 2D element edges.
- break_connectivity=<value>
- 0 – If selected elements are found to be connected to existing FE geometry, then the elements are added to those bodies with corresponding connectivity between old and new FE geometry entities (default)
- component_edges=<value>
- 0 – Do not split elements into topological faces by adding edges at component boundaries
- create_solids=<value>
- 0 – Only surfaces are created
- current_component=<value>
- 0 – FE geometry entities are created in components of original entities (default). This is ignored if component_edges=0.
- edge_angle=<value>
- The angle used when edge_method is > 0. If not specified, then a default internal value is used.
- edge_method=<value>
- Sets the edge feature calculation method. If > 0, edge_angle is used to define the angle.
- remove_open_features=<value>
- Defines if open features are removed when edge_method is non-zero:
- selection_boundary_edges=<value>
- 0 – Input elements that are found in topological bodies created earlier are removed from input (default)
- separate_bodies=<value>
- 0 – Elements organization by components is used to combine disconnected groups of elements into same topological bodies. This option enables creation of solids with multiple disconnected boundaries.
- vertex_angle=<value>
- The angle used to detect and insert feature vertices when vertex_method=1. If not specified, then a default internal value is used.
- vertex_method=<value>
- Sets the additional edge vertex method:
