MeshSegmentWire

A mesh entity representing a wire meshed using segments.

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

    -- Retrieve a specific wire from the collection.

meshSegmentWire = meshSegmentWires["Wire1"]

    -- Set the radius on all the segments

meshSegmentWire:SetRadiusOnAllSegments(0.1)

Inheritance

The MeshSegmentWire object is derived from the MeshWire object.

Property List

BoundingBox

The wire (free edge) coating specified by a predefined Layered dielectric medium. Changing this property will set CoatingEnabled to true. Only applicable for wires (free edges). (Read/Write Medium)
CoatingEnabled
Specifies if a coating should be applied to the wire.Only applicable for wires (free edges). (Read/Write boolean)
CoreMedium
The wire core medium.Only applicable for wires (free edges). (Read/Write Medium)
EdgeType
The type of edge. (Read only GeometryEdgeEnum)
Label
The object label. (Read/Write string)
Length
The accumulative length of all the segments of the wire. (Read only number)
LocalIntrinsicWireRadiusEnabled
Specifies if the local intrinsic wire radius should be used for the wire. Only applicable for wires (free edges). (Read/Write boolean)
LocalMeshSize
The local mesh size for the wire/edge. Changing this property will set LocalMeshSizeEnabled to true. (Read/Write ParametricExpression)
LocalMeshSizeEnabled
Specifies if the local mesh size should be used for the wire/edge. (Read/Write boolean)
LocalWireRadius
The local radius for the wire. Changing this property will set LocalWireRadiusEnabled to true. Only applicable for wires (free edges). (Read/Write ParametricExpression)
LocalWireRadiusEnabled
Specifies if the local wire radius should be used for the wire. Only applicable for wires (free edges). (Read/Write boolean)

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.
SetRadiusOnAllSegments (radius Expression)
Set the segment radius. This is a helper method to update the Radius property on all the segments simultaneously.

Static Function List

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