mphgeom

mphgeom(model,geomtag,'workplane',wptag,...)

mphgeom(model) plots the model geometry in a MATLAB figure. If the model only contains one geometry then the geomtag can be empty.

mphgeom(model,geomtag,...) plots the model geometry with the tag geomtag in a MATLAB figure.

mphgeom(model,geomtag,'workplane',wptag...) plots the 2D geometry defined in the workplane with the tag wptag in a MATLAB figure.

h = mphgeom(model,geomtag,...) also returns a handle of the plotted entities.

The function mphgeom accepts the following property/value pairs:

Table 6-6: Property/value pairs for the mphgeom command
Property	Value	Default	Description
build	on \| off \| current \| string	on	Build the geometry before plotting
domainlabels	on \| off	off	Show domain labels
domainlabelscolor	Char	k	Color for domain labels
edgecolor	Char	k	Edge color
edgelabels	on \| off	off	Show edge labels
edgelabelscolor	Char	k	Color for edge labels
edgemode	on \| off	on	Show edges
entity	point \| edge \| boundary \| domain		Geometric entity to select
facealpha	Double	1	Set transparency value
facecolor	Char \| vector of RGB values	gray	Face color
facelabels	on \| off	off	Show face labels
facelabelscolor	Char	k	Color for face labels
facemode	on \| off	on	Show faces
parent	Double		Parent axes
selection	Positive integer array		Selection
vertexlabels	on \| off	off	Show vertex labels
vertexlabelscolor	Char	k	Color for vertex labels
vertexmode	on \| off	off	Show vertices
view	String \| auto	''	View settings

The Build property determines if mphgeom build the geometry prior to display it. If the Build property is set with a geometry object tag, the geometry is built up to that object. mphgeom only displays built geometry objects.

Use the Workplane property to show the 2D geometry that is define inside the workplane with specified tag.

Example

Plot the model geometry:

model = mphopen('model_tutorial_llmatlab.mph');

mphgeom(model)

Plot the model geometry with face labels:

mphgeom(model,'geom1','facelabels','on','facelabelscolor','r');

Plot boundaries 7, 8, 9 and 11:

mphgeom(model,'geom1','entity','boundary',...

'selection',[7:9,11]);

The geometry can be plotted with view settings applied. This results in a geometry plot with grid, axes labels, lights, hiding etc. applied to the plot. Usually it is sufficient to use the auto setting, but any valid view can be applied:

mphmesh(model, 'mesh1', 'view', 'auto')t

Plot the model geometry on an existing axis:

figure(2);

mphgeom(model, 'geom1','parent', gca);
