MeshTriangleFace
A mesh entity representing a face meshed using triangles.
Example
app = cf.GetApplication() project = app:NewProject() -- Set the frequency project.SolutionConfigurations[1].Frequency.Start = "1e06" -- Create geometry and mesh project.Geometry:AddSphere(cf.Point(0,0,0),1.0) project.Mesher:Mesh() project.Geometry["Sphere1"]:UnlinkMesh() meshTriangleFaces = project.Meshes["Sphere1_1"].TriangleFaces -- Retrieve a specific 'MeshTriangleFace' from the collection. meshTriangleFace = meshTriangleFaces["Face1"] -- Reverse all the face normals meshTriangleFace:ReverseElementNormals()
Inheritance
The MeshTriangleFace object is derived from the MeshEntity object.
Property List
- BackMedium
- The surrounding region medium on the back side of the face. (Read/Write Medium)
- BasisFunctionSettings
- Local basis function solver settings for the face. (Read only BasisFunctionLocalSolverSettings)
- Coating
- The face coating specified by a predefined Layered dielectric medium. An electrically thin coating is applied on both sides of the face, while an electrically thick coating is applied on the normal side of the face. The face should be set up to have free space on at least one of the sides, while the other side can be free space or PEC. Changing this property will set CoatingEnabled to true. (Read/Write Medium)
- CoatingEnabled
- Specifies if a coating should be applied to the face. (Read/Write boolean)
- FaceMedium
- The face medium. (Read/Write Medium)
- FrontMedium
- The surrounding region medium on the front side of the face. (Read/Write Medium)
- IntegralEquation
- The type of integral equation for perfectly conducting metallic surfaces. Only applies when SolutionMethod is set to None. (Read/Write IntegralEquationTypeEnum)
- Label
- The object label. (Read/Write string)
- LocalMeshSize
- The local mesh size for the face. Changing this property will set LocalMeshSizeEnabled to true. (Read/Write Expression)
- LocalMeshSizeEnabled
- Specifies if the local mesh size should be used for the face. (Read/Write boolean)
- Part
- The mesh part that this entity belongs to. (Read only Mesh)
- ReferenceDirection
- The reference direction used to define the principle direction. Only applies when the Medium is defined as a LayeredAnisotropicDielectric. (Read only ReferenceDirection)
- SolutionMethod
- The local solution method used for the face. (Read/Write FaceSolutionMethodEnum)
- SurfaceCoatingType
- The surface coating type for the face. (Read/Write SurfaceCoatingTypeEnum)
- Thickness
- The face medium thickness. Only applies when the FaceMedium is defined as a Metallic. (Read/Write Expression)
- Triangles
- The list of mesh triangles that form the mesh Triangle face. (Read only MeshTriangles)
- Type
- The object type string. (Read only string)
- Windscreen
- The windscreen solution method settings for the face. Only applies if the SolutionMethod is set to Windscreen. (Read only WindscreenSolutionMethod)
Method List
- Delete ()
- Delete the MeshEntity.
- 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.)
- ReverseElementNormals ()
- Reverses the element normals of the mesh face.
- SetProperties (properties table)
- 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.
