class ansys.fluent.core.meshing.tui_231.main_menu.boundary.remesh.size_functions(path, service)#

Bases: TUIMenu

Enters the size functions menu where you can define size functions for controlling mesh size distribution.

Methods:

`compute`(args, *kwargs)	Computes the size field based on the defined parameters.
`create`(args, *kwargs)	Defines the size function based on the specified parameters.
`create_defaults`(args, *kwargs)	Creates default size functions based on face and edge curvature and proximity.
`delete`(args, *kwargs)	Deletes the specified size function or the current size field.
`delete_all`(args, *kwargs)	Deletes all the defined size functions.
`disable_periodicity_filter`(args, *kwargs)	Removes periodicity from the size field.
`enable_periodicity_filter`(args, *kwargs)	Enable size field periodicity.
`list`(args, *kwargs)	Lists all the defined size functions and the parameter values defined.
`list_periodicity_filter`(args, *kwargs)	List periodic in size field.
`reset_global_controls`(args, *kwargs)	Resets the global controls to their default values.
`set_global_controls`(args, *kwargs)	Sets the values for the global minimum and maximum size, and the growth rate.
`set_prox_gap_tolerance`(args, *kwargs)	Sets the tolerance relative to minimum size to take gaps into account.
`set_scaling_filter`(args, *kwargs)	Specifies the scale factor, and minimum and maximum size values to filter the size output from the size field.
`triangulate_quad_faces`(args, *kwargs)	Identifies the zones comprising non-triangular elements and uses a triangulated copy of these zones for computing the size functions.
`use_cad_imported_curvature`(args, *kwargs)	Enables/disables curvature data from the nodes of the CAD facets.

Classes:

`contours`(path, service)	Contains options for displaying contours of size functions.
`controls`(path, service)	Menu to control different behavior of sf.

compute(*args, **kwargs)#: Computes the size field based on the defined parameters.

class contours(path, service)#

Bases: TUIMenu

Contains options for displaying contours of size functions.

Methods:

draw(*args, **kwargs)

Displays contours in the graphics window.

Classes:

set(path, service)

Set contour options.

draw(*args, **kwargs)#: Displays contours in the graphics window. Compute the size field using /size-functions/compute or read in a size field file prior to displaying the contours of size.

class set(path, service)#

Bases: TUIMenu

Set contour options.

Methods:

refine_facets(*args, **kwargs)

Enables you to specify smaller facets if the original are too large.

refine_facets(*args, **kwargs)#: Enables you to specify smaller facets if the original are too large. Default is no.

class controls(path, service)#

Bases: TUIMenu

Menu to control different behavior of sf.

Methods:

`curvature_method`(args, *kwargs)	Option to get facet curvature.
`meshed_sf_behavior`(args, *kwargs)	Set meshed size function processing to hard.

curvature_method(*args, **kwargs)#: Option to get facet curvature.

meshed_sf_behavior(*args, **kwargs)#: Set meshed size function processing to hard.

create(*args, **kwargs)#: Defines the size function based on the specified parameters.

create_defaults(*args, **kwargs)#: Creates default size functions based on face and edge curvature and proximity.

delete(*args, **kwargs)#: Deletes the specified size function or the current size field.

delete_all(*args, **kwargs)#: Deletes all the defined size functions.

disable_periodicity_filter(*args, **kwargs)#: Removes periodicity from the size field.

enable_periodicity_filter(*args, **kwargs)#: Enable size field periodicity.

list(*args, **kwargs)#: Lists all the defined size functions and the parameter values defined.

list_periodicity_filter(*args, **kwargs)#: List periodic in size field.

reset_global_controls(*args, **kwargs)#: Resets the global controls to their default values.

set_global_controls(*args, **kwargs)#: Sets the values for the global minimum and maximum size, and the growth rate.

set_prox_gap_tolerance(*args, **kwargs)#: Sets the tolerance relative to minimum size to take gaps into account. Gaps whose thickness is less than the global minimum size multiplied by this factor will not be regarded as a proximity gap.

set_scaling_filter(*args, **kwargs)#: Specifies the scale factor, and minimum and maximum size values to filter the size output from the size field.

triangulate_quad_faces(*args, **kwargs)#: Identifies the zones comprising non-triangular elements and uses a triangulated copy of these zones for computing the size functions.

use_cad_imported_curvature(*args, **kwargs)#: Enables/disables curvature data from the nodes of the CAD facets.
