volume_mesh

Mesh.volume_mesh(volume_fill_type=VolumeFillType.TET, quadratic=False, prism_layers=None, prism_surface_expression='*', prism_volume_expression='*', growth_rate=1.2, scope=<ansys.meshing.prime.lucid.scope.VolumeScope object>)

Generate Volume mesh on the model.

This method can be used to generate volume mesh on the entire model. If prism layers parameter is set, prism layers are generated.

Parameters:

volume_fill_typeprime.VolumeFillType

Type of volume elements to be generated.

quadraticbool

Option to generate quadratic mesh. It is not supported with parallel meshing. It is only supported with pure tetrahedral mesh.

prism_layersint

Number of prism layers to grow.

prism_label_expressionstr

Labels on surfaces from where prisms are grown. Default is to grow from all surfaces.

prism_volume_expressionstr

Volumes or topovolumes into which prisms are grown. The expression evaluates to zone names and volumes or topovolumes are queried based on zones evaluated.

growth_ratefloat

Prism growth rate.

scopeVolumeScope

Scope of volumes to be meshed.
