size_functions#

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

Bases: TUIMenu

Manage advanced size functions.

Methods:

`compute`(args, *kwargs)	Computes the size function 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)	Applies periodicity to the size field.
`list`(args, *kwargs)	Lists all the defined size functions and the corresponding 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)	Allows you specify 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)	Allows you to disable curvature data from the nodes of the CAD facets.

Classes:

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

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

class contours(path, service)#

Bases: TUIMenu

Contains options for managing contours.

Methods:

draw(*args, **kwargs)

Displays contours in the graphics window.

Classes:

set(path, service)

Contains options to manage the contour size.

draw(*args, **kwargs)#: Displays contours in the graphics window. Run compute prior to contours/draw.

class set(path, service)#

Bases: TUIMenu

Contains options to manage the contour size.

Methods:

refine_facets(*args, **kwargs)

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

refine_facets(*args, **kwargs)#: Allows 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)#: Applies periodicity to the size field. Specify the angle, pivot, and axis of rotation to set up periodicity. If periodicity has been previously defined, the existing settings will be applied. Only rotational periodicity is supported, translational periodicity is not supported currently.

list(*args, **kwargs)#: Lists all the defined size functions and the corresponding 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. If you set the global minimum size to a value greater than the local minimum size defined for existing proximity, curvature, or hard size functions, a warning will appear, indicating that the global minimum size cannot be greater than the specified local minimum size.

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)#: Allows you specify 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)#: Allows you to disable curvature data from the nodes of the CAD facets.
