ProximitySizingParams

class ansys.meshing.prime.ProximitySizingParams(model=None, min=None, max=None, growth_rate=None, elements_per_gap=None, ignore_self_proximity=None, ignore_orientation=None, json_data=None, **kwargs)

Size field using proximity size control computes edge and face sizes in gaps using the specified minimum number of element layers.

Parameters:

model: Model

Model to create a ProximitySizingParams object with default parameters.

min: float, optional

Minimum size used for computing edge and face size using proximity size control.

max: float, optional

Maximum size used for computing edge and face size using proximity size control.

growth_rate: float, optional

Growth rate used for transitioning from one element size to neighbor element size.

elements_per_gap: float, optional

The number of elements per gap can be a real value. This has the effect of stretching face elements with larger sizes along side faces, or gaps, thereby reducing the overall face count, and ultimately the cell count.

ignore_self_proximity: bool, optional

Ignore proximity within zonelets.

ignore_orientation: bool, optional

The ignore orientation option can be used to ignore the face normal orientation during the proximity calculation. The default is false.

json_data: dict, optional

JSON dictionary to create a ProximitySizingParams object with provided parameters.

Examples

>>> proximity_sizing_params = prime.ProximitySizingParams(model = model)
