`MeshSegment`

A segment in 3D space. Exists as part of a mesh.

Example

application = cf.Application.getInstance()
project = application:NewProject()

    -- Settings for normal meshing

advancedMeshSettings = project.Mesher.Settings.Advanced
advancedMeshSettings.CurvilinearSegments = cf.Enums.MeshCurvilinearOptionsEnum.Disabled

project.Contents.SolutionConfigurations.GlobalFrequency.Start = "1e08"

    -- Create geometry and mesh

project.Contents.Geometry:AddHelix(cf.Point(0,0,0), 0.1, 0.1, 1.0, 5.0, false)
project.Mesher.Settings.WireRadius = "0.01"
project.Mesher:Mesh()
project.Contents.Geometry["Helix1"]:UnlinkMesh()

meshSegmentWires = project.Contents.Meshes["Helix1_1"].Wires

for i in ipairs(meshSegmentWires) do

    -- Obtain handle to the 'MeshSegment' and change the radius

    meshSegment = meshSegmentWires[i]
    meshSegment.Radius = 0.1
end

Inheritance

The MeshSegment object is derived from the Object object.

Property List

Label: The object label. (Read/Write string)
Radius: The segment radius. (Read/Write ParametricExpression)
Type: The object type string. (Read only string)

Method List

Delete (): Deletes the entity.
Duplicate (): Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
GetProperties (): Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
SetProperties (properties Object): Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.

Static Function List

GetDefaultProperties (): Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object. (Returns a table object.)

Property Details

Label

The object label.

Type: string
Access: Read/Write

Radius

The segment radius.

Type: ParametricExpression
Access: Read/Write

Type

The object type string.

Type: string
Access: Read only

Method Details

Delete ()

Deletes the entity.

Duplicate ()

Duplicates the entity.

Return

Object: The new (duplicated) entity.

GetProperties ()

Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step.

Return

table: A table defining the properties.

SetProperties (properties Object)

Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.

Input Parameters

properties(Object): A table of properties defining the new state of the object.

Static Function Details

GetDefaultProperties ()

Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object.

Return

table: A table containing the default properties.
