FromMesh

Create geometry (deformed configuration) from a (deformed) mesh.

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

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

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).importData();

To create a geometry sequence from a deformed mesh, use the createDeformedConfig method on a solution dataset, see Solution. Such a geometry sequence contains a FromMesh feature. This feature has the following properties

Table 3-83: Valid Properties for FromMesh
Name	Value	Description
solution	String	Tag of solver sequence to take the deformed mesh from, or none.
enableupdate	on \| off \| none	Enable update of the deformed configuration using the importData() method.
outertype	solnum \| none	If the solver used a parametric sweep, then outertype is solnum. Only used if enableupdate is on.
outersolnum	integer	The index of the outer solution to use. Only used if outertype is solnum.
solvertype	solnum \| none	If you can choose among the solver’s solution vectors using a solution number, then solvertype is solnum. Only used if enableupdate is on.
solnum	integer \| interp	The index of the solution vector to use. Only used if solvertype is solnum.
timeinterp	on \| off	The timeinterp property is on if solnum is interp.
t	double	Time to interpolate solution at. Only used if timeinterp is on.
solnumdescr	String	Description of the chosen solution. Only used if enableupdate is off.

These properties determine the solution from which the deformed mesh is taken. You should not change the properties solution, enableupdate, outertype, solvertype, timeinterp, or solnumdescr. Only change the properties outersolnum, solnum, and t (but only if enableupdate is on).

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).importData() updates the geometry based on the current value of the solution in the feature’s corresponding solver sequence.
