Reference

Refer to another meshing sequence.

Syntax

model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Reference");

model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property,<value>);

model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).getType(property);

model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).expand();

model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).create(<ftag1>,ftype);

Description

Use model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Reference") to refer to another meshing sequence. Use model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).create(<ftag1>,ftype) to add Scale attribute features.

Use model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).expand() to replace the reference with a copy of the referred sequence, where the attributes have been scaled with the scale attribute features of the reference.

The following properties are available:

Table 4-55: Available Properties
Property	Value	Default	Description
sequence	String		Tag of referred sequence.

Use the sequence property to specify another meshing sequence on the same geometry. When running the feature, all features of the specified sequence are run in the current context.

It is not allowed to introduce circular references.

Example

Create a mixed mesh with quads and triangles on a geometry. Create a second meshing sequence with a scale feature and a reference to the first meshing sequence. The result is a coarser version of the first mesh.

Code for Use with Java

Model model = ModelUtil.create("Model");

model.component().create("comp1");

GeomSequence g = model.component("comp1").geom().create("geom1", 2);

MeshSequence m1 = model.component("comp1").mesh().create("mesh1", "geom1");

g.create("sq1", "Square");

g.create("sq2", "Square");

g.feature("sq2").set("size", "0.5");

g.run();
