`MeshTriangleFaceCollection`

A collection of faces meshed with triangles.

Example

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

	-- Set the frequency

project.Contents.SolutionConfigurations.GlobalFrequency.Start = "1e06"

    -- Create geometry and mesh

project.Contents.Geometry:AddSphere(cf.Point(0,0,0),1.0)
project.Mesher:Mesh()
project.Contents.Geometry["Sphere1"]:UnlinkMesh()

    -- Obtain the 'MeshTriangleFaceCollection'

meshTriangleFaces = project.Contents.Meshes["Sphere1_1"].Faces

    -- Retrieve a specific face from the collection.

face = meshTriangleFaces["Face1"]

Inheritance

Usage locations

The MeshTriangleFaceCollection object can be accessed from the following locations:

Collection lists
- Mesh object has collection Faces.

Property List

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

Method List

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.)

Input Parameters

(List of Object)

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.
