COMSOL 6.2 - IgnoreEdges

Ignore edges by removing selected edges that are isolated, adjacent to precisely two faces, or between two domains.

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"IgnoreEdges");

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

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

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

Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"IgnoreEdges") to ignore edges.

Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection("input") to select the edges to ignore. The default selection is empty.

The feature removes the selected edges that are isolated, that are adjacent to precisely two faces, or that are between two domains. If an edge is adjacent to two faces in 3D, the operations forms a composite face, if an edge is between two domains in 2D, the operation forms composite domain. The output object is a virtual geometry.

The following properties are available:

Table 3-91: Valid Properties.
Name	Value	Default	Description
input	Selection		Edges to ignore.
ignorevtx	on \| off	on	Ignore vertices on boundary.
keepformesh	on \| off	off	Keep edges for mesh control.

Use ignorevtx to specify if the feature also removes the ignorable vertices on the boundary of each resulting composite face.

Use keepformesh to keep the ignored edges while meshing, to help you in constructing the mesh.

Create a sphere and ignore all edges and, implicitly, all vertices.

Code for Use with Java

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

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

GeomSequence g = model.component("comp1").geom().create("geom1", 3);

g.create("sph1", "Sphere");

g.create("ige1", "IgnoreEdges");

g.feature("ige1").selection("input").set("fin(1)", 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12);

Code for Use with MATLAB

model = ModelUtil.create('Model');

model.component.create('comp1');

g = model.component('comp1').geom.create('geom1', 3);

g.create('sph1', 'Sphere');

g.create('ige1', 'IgnoreEdges');

g.feature('ige1').selection('input').set('fin(1)', 1:12);
