Description
This command sets the edge-specific parameters for the automeshing module. It controls both standard and chordal mesh algorithm parameters.
Inputs
- edge_index
- The index of the edge in the particular surface under consideration. This is a 0-based index that operates on the edges in the order they are returned from hm_getsurfaceedges. One can query the edges for a surface using hm_getsurfaceedges, and then the index of each edge in the returned list (starting from 0) are the possible indices.
- elem_density
- The density of elements to use along the given edge.
- alg_type
- 1 - Use size & biasing algorithm
- bias_style
- The style of biasing to use. Valid values are:
- 0 - linear
- 1 - exponential
- 2 - bell curve
- bias
- The biasing value of the element length to use along the given edge.
- min_size
- The minimum element size for the edge for chordal deviation meshing.
- max_size
- The maximum element size for the edge for all alg_type.
- chordal_dev
- The maximum chordal deviation distance for the element for the edge.
- max_angle
- The maximum turn angle value (in degrees) between adjacent element links for the edge for chordal deviation meshing.
Example
To create specify deviation based node seeding for edge 29 with minimum element size 0.5, maximum element size 15.0, maximum chordal deviation 0.2, and maximum element links turn angle 25 degrees with the element density required by the chordal deviation parameters:
*set_meshedgeparams 29 0 0 0 0 0.5 15 0.2 25
Same example as above, but with element density 4 requiring that the command be applied twice:
*set_meshedgeparams 29 4 0 0 0 0.5 15 0.2 25
*set_meshedgeparams 29 4 0 0 0 0.5 15 0.2 25
