class analyze_bnd_connectvty(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Finds and marks free edges and nodes and multiply-connected edges and nodes. This process is necessary if the boundary mesh has been changed with Scheme functions.

class auto_patch_holes(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Patch zone(s) by filling holes.

class clear_selections(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Clears faces that were marked using the mark-skew-face command.

class collapse(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Collapses pairs of nodes, edge(s), or face(s). If a pair of nodes is selected, both the nodes are deleted and a new node is created at the midpoint of the two nodes. If a triangular face is selected, the complete face is collapsed into a single node at the centroid of the face.

class create(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Creates a boundary face if the selection list contains 3 nodes and an optional zone. If the selection list contains positions, then nodes are created.

class create_mid_node(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Creates a node at the midpoint between two selected nodes.

class delete(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Deletes all selected faces and nodes.

class delta_move(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Moves the selected node by specified magnitude.

class deselect_last(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Removes the last selection from the selection list.

class hole_feature_angle(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Specifies the feature angle for consideration of holes in the geometry.

class list_selections(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Lists all of the selected objects.

class local_remesh(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Remeshes marked faces or faces based on selections in the graphics window. Select the faces to be remeshed and specify the sizing source (constant-size, geometry, or size-field), the number of radial layers of faces to be remeshed (rings), the feature angle to be preserved while remeshing the selected faces, and the size for constant size remeshing (if applicable).

class mark_skew_face(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Marks faces that should be skipped when the worst skewed face is reported using the Modify Boundary dialog box. This enables you to search for the next skewed face.

class merge(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Merges pairs of nodes. The first node selected is retained, and the second is the duplicate that is merged.

class move(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Moves the selected node to the selected position if the selection list contains a node and a position.

class next_skew(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Finds the triangular face of nearest lower skewness value than that of the worst skewed face. The face ID, its skewness, the longest edge ID, and the node ID opposite to the longest edge are displayed in the console.

class patch_options(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Settings for Patching zone(s) by filling holes.

class rezone(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Moves the selected faces from their current zone into the selected zone, if the selection list contains a zone and one or more faces.

class select_entity(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Adds a cell, face, or node to the selection list by entering the name of the entity.

class select_filter(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Selects a filter. The possible filters are off, cell, face, edge, node, zone, position, object, and size. If off is chosen, then when a selection is made, it is first checked to see if it is a cell, then a face, an edge, and so on. When the node filter is used, and if a cell or face is selected, the node closest to the selection point is picked. Thus, the nodes do not have to be displayed, to be picked.

class select_position(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Adds a position to the selection list by entering the coordinates of the position.

class select_probe(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Selects the probe function. The possible functions are:.

class select_visible_entities(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Enables you to select only visible entities (nodes, edges, faces, zones, objects) when the box select or polygon select options are used. Ensure that the model is zoomed to an appropriate level for correct selection.

class select_zone(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Adds a zone to the selection list by entering the zone name or ID.

class show_filter(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Shows the current filter.

class show_probe(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Shows the current probe function.

class skew(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Finds the face with the highest (worst) skewness, selects it in the graphics window, and reports its skewness and zone ID in the console window.

class skew_report_zone(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Enables you to select the zone for which you want to report the skewness. You can either specify zone name or zone ID.

class smooth(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Uses Laplace smoothing to modify the position of the nodes in the selection list. It moves the selected node to a position computed from an average of its node neighbors. The new position is an average of the neighboring node coordinates and is not reprojected to the discrete surface.

class split_face(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Splits two selected faces into four faces.

class swap(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Swaps boundary edges (of triangular faces) if the selection list contains edges.

class undo(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Undoes the previous operation. When an operation is performed, the reverse operation is stored on the undo stack. For example, a create operation places a delete on the stack, and a delete adds a create operation. The undo operation requires that the name of the object exist when the action is undone. If the name does not exist, then the undo will fail. You can undo the last few operations, but if many operations are being performed it is recommended that you also save the mesh periodically.
