MeshRepair
A grouping of various mesh repair tools.
Example
app = cf.GetApplication() project = app:NewProject() -- Settings for normal meshing project.Mesher.Settings.WireRadius = "0.01" project.SolutionConfigurations[1].Frequency.Start = "1e08" -- Create geometry and mesh project.Geometry:AddHelix(cf.Point(0,0,0), 0.1, 0.1, 1.0, 5.0, false) project.Mesher:Mesh() project.Geometry["Helix1"]:UnlinkMesh() -- Obtain a handle to the helix mesh helixMesh = project.Meshes["Helix1_1"] -- Obtain the 'MeshRepair' object meshRepair = project.Meshes.Repair hasIntersectingMeshElements = meshRepair:RemoveDuplicates(helixMesh)
