Mesh
Create a mesh plot.
Syntax
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"Mesh");
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property, <value>);
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).run();
Description
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"Mesh") creates a mesh plot feature named <ftag> belonging to the plot group <pgtag>.
This plot type provides visualization of meshes.
The following properties are available:

Description
colorlegend
on | off
on
Whether to show color legend when elemcolor is set to quality or size.
colortablerev
on | off
on
Whether to reverse to color table when elemcolor is set to quality or size.
colortable
color table name
TrafficLight
The element color table to use when elemcolor is set to quality or size. See Color Tables for a list of color tables. 2D and 3D only.
data
none | parent | dataset name
parent
The dataset this feature refers to
elemcolor
quality | size | color
quality
How to color the elements 2D and 3D only. The default, quality, uses a mesh quality measure. size colors the elements according to the local mesh element size.
elemfilter
random | quality | qualityrev | size | expression | logicalexpression
random
If filteractive is on: The expression to use for filtering when only a subset of the elements are shown. 2D and 3D only.
elemscale
double in [0,1]
1
The factor with which the elements are scaled before display. 2D and 3D only.
elemtype2
all | tri | quad
all
2D mesh element types to plot
elemtype3
all | tet | pyr | prism | hex
all
3D mesh element types to plot: all, tetrahedron, pyramid, prism, or hex.
filteractive
on | off
off
Whether to use element filtering
filterexpr
String
x
The expression to use for filtering when elemfilter is set to expression. 2D and 3D only.
logfilterexpr
String
'1'
The logical expression to use for filtering when elemfilter is set to 'logicalexpression'. 2D and 3D only.
meshdomain
all | point | edge | surface | volume (if 3D)
all
Mesh domain level(s) to plot. 2D and 3D only.
plotonsecyaxis
Boolean
true
Plot on secondary y-axis, if twoyaxes is set to true in the parent plot group. For 1D graph plots only.
qualexpr
String
 
A custom expression for a mesh quality measure (used when qualmeasure is set to custom).
qualmeasure
skewness | maxangle | volcircum | vollength | condition | growth | custom
skewness
The mesh quality measure used when plotting the mesh quality: equiangular skewness, maximum angle, volume versus circumradius, volume versus length, condition number, element growth rate, or a custom expression.
tetkeep
Double in [0, 1]
1
The fraction of the elements to display. 2D and 3D only.
title
String
The auto-title
The title to use when titletype is manual. 2D and 3D only.
titletype
auto | manual | none
auto
auto if the title contribution should be computed automatically, possibly using the group’s customization. manual if the manual title should be used (the title property). none if no title should be displayed. 2D and 3D only.
wireframecolor
none | color
black
How to color the wireframe mesh; 'none' means that it is not displayed at all. 2D and 3D only.
1dfilter
size | none
none
Plot the mesh size as the y-axis data. 1D only.
