Description
Recalculates FE geometry topology with new parameters for selected surfaces or elements.
Inputs
- entity_type
- The type of the input geometry. Valid values are surfaces and elements.
- mark_id
- The ID for the mark containing the input elements or surfaces. Valid values are 1 and 2.
- component_edges=<value>
- 0 – Do not split elements into topological faces by adding edges at component boundaries
- 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 and edges that do not satisfy the angle and component criteria are removed.
- keep_existing=<value>
- 0 – Existing features that do not satisfy new parameters are removed (default)
- remove_open_features=<value>
- Defines if open features are removed when edge_method is non-zero:
- selection_boundary_edges=<value>
- Defines if edges are added at selection 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:
