`MeshSettingsCollection`

A collection of mesh setting definitions.

Example

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

-- Add two mesh setting definions

properties1 = cf.LocalMeshSettings.GetDefaultProperties()
properties1.Label = "LocalMeshSettings1"
localMeshSettings1 = project.Definitions.MeshSettings:Add(properties1)
localMeshSettings2 = project.Definitions.MeshSettings:Add(cf.Enums.MeshSizeOptionEnum.Coarse)

-- Create a cuboid with its base corner at the specified 'Point'

corner = cf.Point(-0.25, -0.25, 0)
cube = project.Contents.Geometry:AddCuboid(corner, 0.5, 0.5, 1.25)

-- Set local mesh settings on cuboid
cubeproperties = cube:GetProperties()
cubeproperties.LocalMeshSettingsEnabled = true
cubeproperties.MeshSettings = localMeshSettings1
cube:SetProperties(cubeproperties)

Inheritance

The MeshSettingsCollection object can be accessed from the following locations:

Collection lists

Property List

Label: The object label. (Read/Write string)
Type: The object type string. (Read only string)

Method List

Add ( table): Add a mesh setting definion with default values. (Returns a LocalMeshSettings object.)
Add ( MeshSizeOptionEnum): Add a mesh setting definion with standard, coarse or fine mesh settings. (Returns a LocalMeshSettings object.)
Delete (): Deletes the entity.
DeleteEntities ( List of Object): Delete the given list of entities from the collection.
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.)

Add a mesh setting definion with default values.

Input Parameters

(table)

Return

LocalMeshSettings

Add ( MeshSizeOptionEnum)

Add a mesh setting definion with standard, coarse or fine mesh settings.

Input Parameters

(MeshSizeOptionEnum)

Return

LocalMeshSettings

Delete ()

Deletes the entity.

DeleteEntities ( List of Object)

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.
