CollapseParams

class ansys.meshing.prime.CollapseParams(model=None, feature_type=None, collapse_ratio=None, preserve_quality=None, target_skewness=None, keep_edge_connectivity=None, json_data=None, **kwargs)

Parameters to collapse face elements.

Parameters:

model: Model

Model to create a CollapseParams object with default parameters.

feature_type: SurfaceFeatureType, optional

Feature type to be preserved when performing collapse.

collapse_ratio: float, optional

Maximum ratio of shortest face edge length to longest face edge length.

preserve_quality: bool, optional

Option to preserve quality of neighboring triangles when performing collapse.Collapse may lead to quality deterioration beyond target skewness. Such collapse is prevented, when the option is enabled.

target_skewness: float, optional

Skewness limit used as target to preserve quality. Better quality elements are skipped for collapse.

keep_edge_connectivity: bool, optional

Option to keep edge connectivity. The default value is false. When keep edge connectivity is true, edges that were connected to collapsed triangles will be connected to different triangles. Otherwise, edges will be disconnected from faces.

This is a beta parameter. The behavior and name may change in the future.

json_data: dict, optional

JSON dictionary to create a CollapseParams object with provided parameters.

Examples

>>> collapse_params = prime.CollapseParams(model = model)
