MeshUnmeshedPolygonFace

A mesh entity representing one or more unmeshed polygons. This type of mesh is typically solved using a solution method that does not require fine subdivision, like the uniform theory of diffraction.

Example

app = cf.GetApplication()
project = app:NewProject()

    -- Set the frequency

project.SolutionConfigurations[1].Frequency.Start = "1e08"

    -- Create geometry, set solution method to UTD
    
polygons = project.Geometry:AddRectangle(cf.Point(-0.25,-0.25,0), 0.5, 1.0)
polygons.Faces["Face1"].SolutionMethod = cf.Enums.RegionSolutionMethodEnum.UTD

	-- Mesh

project.Mesher:Mesh()
project.Geometry["Rectangle1"]:UnlinkMesh()

meshUnmeshedPolygonFaces = project.Meshes["Rectangle1_1"].UnmeshedPolygonFaces

for i in ipairs(meshUnmeshedPolygonFaces) do

    -- Obtain the 'MeshUnmeshedPolygonFace'
    
    meshUnmeshedPolygonFace = meshUnmeshedPolygonFaces[i]
    
    -- Reverse the element normals on the face
   
    meshUnmeshedPolygonFace:ReverseElementNormals()
end

Inheritance

The MeshUnmeshedPolygonFace object is derived from the MeshEntity object.

Property List

Coating
The face coating specified by a predefined Layered dielectric medium.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)
Label
The object label. (Read/Write string)
Medium
The face medium. (Read/Write Medium)
Part
The mesh part that this entity belongs to. (Read only Mesh)
Polygons
The list of unmeshed polygons that form the mesh face. (Read only MeshPolygons)
Thickness
The face medium thickness. Only applies when the Medium is defined as a Metallic. (Read/Write Expression)
Type
The object type string. (Read only string)

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 each polygon's normal.
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.
