MeshStackerParams#

class ansys.meshing.prime.MeshStackerParams(model=None, origin=None, direction=None, lateral_defeature_tolerance=None, stacking_defeature_tolerance=None, max_offset_size=None, size_control_ids=None, seed_faces=None, delete_base=None, json_data=None, **kwargs)#

Input parameters associated with the mesh stacker operations.

Parameters:

model: Model

Model to create a MeshStackerParams object with default parameters.

origin: Iterable[float], optional

Origin coordinate list of stacker.

direction: Iterable[float], optional

Direction vector of stacker.

lateral_defeature_tolerance: float, optional

Absolute lateral distance tolerance for stacker. If the lateral distance tolerance is not specified, a default tolerance value is calculated by stacker.

stacking_defeature_tolerance: float, optional

Absolute stacking distance tolerance for stacker. If the stacking distance tolerance is not specified, a default tolerance value is calculated by stacker.

max_offset_size: float, optional

Maximum stack size allowed during stacking. If the maximum stack size is not specified, it is set to global max size.

size_control_ids: Iterable[int], optional

List of size control ids to be respected by stacker. Stacker respects all supported controls by default.

seed_faces: Iterable[int], optional

List of faces whose edges need to be imprinted on the base face. If the faces are meshed, the mesh will be transferred to the base face.

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

delete_base: bool, optional

Option to delete base face at the end of stacking. The default is false.

json_data: dict, optional

JSON dictionary to create a MeshStackerParams object with provided parameters.

>>> mesh_stacker_params = prime.MeshStackerParams(model = model)
