Mesh

class cee.usg.Mesh()

A mesh defines the surface elements and nodes for a Part in a Geometry.

A mesh is defined by a node array with x,y,z values and the element nodes describing the index of the nodes in each element. The number of nodes per element is defined by either a singleElementType for meshes where all the elements have the same number of nodes or by an array (elementTypeArr) with one item per element describing the number of nodes in that element.

Mesh is an immutable class, so if you need to change something you will have to construct a new mesh.

Mesh.constructor(nodeArr, singleElementType, elementNodeIndexArr[, optionalData])

Arguments:

nodeArr (ArrayLike) – None
singleElementType (number) – None
elementNodeIndexArr (ArrayLike) – None
optionalData (OptionalMeshData) – optional None

Create a mesh.

For mesh with only one element type (all elements have the same number of element nodes) use the singleElementType version. This is more compact for storage.

The nodeArr is an array of all the nodes in the mesh as an array with [x0, y0, z0, x1, y1, z1, …].

If you have a varying number of element nodes in your elements, specify that with an array (elementTypeArr) with one item per element specifying the number of nodes for that element.

Return type:: Mesh

Arguments:

nodeArr (ArrayLike) – None
elementTypeArr (ArrayLike) – None
elementNodeIndexArr (ArrayLike) – None
