class check_allowable_skew(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Enables you to check the skewness of the prism cap for every layer.

class check_size(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Check for negative cell volume?.

class corner_height_weight(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

When enabled, the offset height at corners with large angles (for example, 270º) is reduced to give a smoother prism cap.

Skewness-driven edge smoothing is only allowed between cap faces whose normals are within this angle.

class edge_swap(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Perform edge swapping to improve skewness?.

class edge_swap_base_angle(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Specifies the maximum allowable angle between the normals of the base faces for skewness-driven edge swapping.

class edge_swap_cap_angle(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Specifies the maximum allowable angle between the normals of the cap faces for skewness-driven edge swapping.

class face_smooth_skew(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Min. skewness to smooth cap faces.

class identify_feature_line(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Perform normal smoothing on feature lines?.

class improve_warp(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Enables or disables improving of face warp during prism generation. This option is disabled by default.

class layer_by_layer_smoothing(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Perform normals and heights smoothing to improve cell quality/shape?.

class left_hand_check(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Controls checking for left-handedness of faces. The default setting of 0 implies face handedness will not be checked. A value of 1 implies only cap faces will be checked, while 2 implies faces of all cells in current layer will be checked.

class max_allowable_cap_skew(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Specifies the maximum skewness allowed for a prism cap face. If the skewness of a cap face exceeds this value, the meshing process will stop and a warning indicates that the skewness for that layer is too high.

Bases: TUIMethod

Specifies the cell quality criteria for smoothing and quality checking.

class node_smooth(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Perform node-driven smoothing to improve skewness?.

class node_smooth_angle(service, version, mode, path)

class node_smooth_local(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Allow node-smoothing to converge locally (for large geometries).

class node_smooth_rings(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Controls locality of skewness-driven node smoothing. If greater than zero, nodes surrounding a node to be smoothed are smoothed first. Nodes directly connected to the target node are in ring 1. Nodes not in ring 1 which are directly connected to nodes in ring 1 are in ring 2, and so on. This value determines how many surrounding rings to smooth.

class post_adjust_height(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Perform prism height adjustment based on growth rate?.

class shrink_left_handed_cap(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

class smooth_improve_prism_cells(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Enables you to set the parameters for improving the prism cells after the required prism layers are created. You can select optimized smoothing (smooth), node movement (improve), or a combination of both to improve the quality. Specify the quality measure to be used, the cell quality threshold, the number of improvement iterations, and the minimum improvement required.

class swap_smooth_skew(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Only faces with skewness >= this value are swapped and/or smoothed.
