The improve operation will attempt to improve cells with skewness above the target-low-skew value specified, but there will be no attempt to reduce the skewness below the specified value. A limited set of improve operations will be used as compared to the operations required for the target-skew value-based improvement. The value specified could be approximately 0.1 lower than the target-skew value.

target_skew(*args, **kwargs)#

Specifies the targeted skewness during improvement for the advancing front method.

cell_sizing(*args, **kwargs)#

Specifies the cell sizing function for refinement. You can select geometric, linear, none, or size-field as appropriate.

clear_zone_growth_rate(*args, **kwargs)#

Clear zone specific geometric growth rates.

compute_max_cell_volume(*args, **kwargs)#

Computes the maximum cell volume for the current mesh.

class improve_mesh(path, service)#

Bases: TUIMenu

Enters the improve mesh controls menu.

Methods:

improve(*args, **kwargs)

Automatically improves the mesh.

Specifies the maximum allowable cell length.

max_cell_volume(*args, **kwargs)#

Specifies the maximum allowable cell volume.

non_fluid_type(*args, **kwargs)#

Selects the non-fluid cell zone type. After the mesh is initialized, any non-fluid zones will be set to this type. If the mesh includes multiple regions (for example, the problem for which you are creating the mesh includes a fluid zone and one or more solid zones), and you plan to refine all of them using the same refinement parameters, modify the non-fluid type before generating the mesh. For zone-based meshing, if any cell zone has at least one boundary zone type as inlet, it will automatically be set to fluid type. For object based meshing, volume region type is used to determine the cell zone type.

print_region_based_sizing(*args, **kwargs)#

Displays local sizing settings (max cell length) for specified region(s).

refine_method(*args, **kwargs)#

Enables you to select the refinement method. You can select either skewness-based refinement or the advancing front method. The skewness-based refinement option is no longer supported and will be removed at a future release.

iterations(*args, **kwargs)#

Specifies the number of iterations to be performed for the specific sliver removal operation.

low_skew(*args, **kwargs)#

Specifies the targeted skewness threshold above which cells will be improved. The improve operation will attempt to improve cells with skewness above the low-skew value specified, but there will be no attempt to reduce the skewness below the specified value. A limited set of improve operations will be used as compared to the operations required for the skew value-based improvement.

method(*args, **kwargs)#

Enables you to select the method for sliver removal. The default method used is the fast method. The fast and the aggressive methods use the same controls and give similar results for good quality surface meshes. In case of poor surface meshes, the aggressive method will typically succeed in improving the mesh to a greater extent, but it may be slower than the fast method.
