A value of 1 lists the individual checks as they are performed. A value of 2 enables the availability of additional mesh field variables, lists the individual checks as they are performed, and provides additional details (for example, the location of the problem, the affected cells). The check-verbosity text command can also be used to set the level of detail displayed in the mesh quality report generated by mesh/quality. A value of 0 (the default) or 1 lists the minimum orthogonal quality and the maximum aspect ratio. A value of 2 adds information about the zones that contain the cells with the lowest quality, and additional metrics such as the maximum cell squish index and the minimum expansion ratio.

enhanced_orthogonal_quality(*args, **kwargs)#

Enables / disables an enhanced definition when calculating the orthogonal quality. When enabled, the orthogonal quality is defined using a variety quality measures, including: the orthogonality of a face relative to a vector between the face and cell centroids; a metric that detects poor cell shape at a local edge (such as twisting and/or concavity); and the variation of normals between the faces that can be constructed from the cell face. This enhanced definition is optimal for evaluating thin prism cells.

migrate_and_reorder(*args, **kwargs)#

Enables / disables the migration of newly created partitions to the compute-nodes and the reordering of the domain as part of polyhedra conversion. This is disabled by default, because it requires significant additional memory; when disabled, it is recommended that you save the case file after conversion, read it in a new Fluent session (so that the new / stored partitions become active), and then manually reorder using the mesh/reorder/reorder-domain text command. If you want to run the calculation in the current Fluent session you can enable the migrate-and-reorder? text command prior to conversion, but you must ensure that no more than half of the available memory of your system is currently used.

preserve_boundary_layer(*args, **kwargs)#

Specifies whether boundary layer cells will be preserved when the domain is converted to polyhedra. When the value is set to 0 (default) ANSYS Fluent checks for high aspect ratio cells at the boundary layer and if any are found, Fluent asks if you want to preserve the boundary layer. When the value is set to 1, the boundary layer cells are never preserved; when it is set to 2, the boundary layer cells are always preserved (regardless of the aspect ratio of the boundary layer cells).

Repairs mesh problems identified by the mesh check, if possible. The repairs include fixing cells that have the wrong node order, the wrong face handedness, faces that are small or nonexistent, or very poor quality. Only interior nodes are repositioned by default; boundary nodes may be repositioned if the mesh/repair-improve/allow-repair-at-boundaries text command is enabled. Note that highly skewed cells may be converted into polyhedra, depending on whether the mesh/repair-improve/include-local-polyhedra-conversion-in-repair text command is enabled.

repair_face_handedness(*args, **kwargs)#

Modifies cell centroids to repair meshes that contain left-handed faces without face node order problems.

repair_face_node_order(*args, **kwargs)#

Modifies face nodes to repair faces with improper face node order and, therefore, eliminates any resulting left-handed faces.

repair_periodic(*args, **kwargs)#

Modifies the mesh to enforce a rotational angle or translational distance for periodic boundaries. For translationally periodic boundaries, the command computes an average translation distance and adjusts the node coordinates on the shadow face zone to match this distance. For rotationally periodic boundaries, the command prompts for an angle and adjusts the node coordinates on the shadow face zone using this angle and the defined rotational axis for the cell zone.

repair_wall_distance(*args, **kwargs)#

Corrects wall distance at very high aspect ratio hexahedral/polyhedral cells.

report_poor_elements(*args, **kwargs)#

Reports invalid and poor quality elements.

replace(*args, **kwargs)#

Replace mesh and interpolate data.

rotate(*args, **kwargs)#

Rotates the mesh.

scale(*args, **kwargs)#

Prompts for the scaling factors in each of the active Cartesian coordinate directions.

set_unit_system(*args, **kwargs)#

To apply standard set of units to all quantities.

show_periodic_shadow_zones(*args, **kwargs)#

Option to show periodic shadow zones in user interface.

size_info(*args, **kwargs)#

Prints mesh size.

smooth_mesh(*args, **kwargs)#

Smooths the mesh using quality-based, Laplacian, or skewness methods.
