Geometric Model
A meshing sequence that defines its own geometric model defines its own set of entities and is not connected to a geometry sequence. The most common example is a meshing sequence including an Import feature. The meshing features listed in the See Also section can only be added to meshing sequences that define their own geometric model.
For more information about meshes that define their own geometric model, see The Mesh Node in the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual.
To get information, such as number of entities, adjacency, and more on the geometric model, see Information on the Geometric Model.
To get the geometric model used in the meshing sequence <tag>, use
String geomModel = model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).geometricModel();
The method returns a string with the tag of the geometry or meshing sequence with the prefix geom/ or mesh/ to indicate if it is a geometry or mesh. It returns an empty string if the sequence defines its own geometric model.
Enter
model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).geometricModel(String);
to specify if the meshing sequence <tag> defines its own geometric model, is operating on a geometry, or is operating on a mesh. For example, use
model.component("comp1").mesh("mesh1").geometricModel("geom/geom1");
to specify that mesh1 is operating on the geometric model defined by geom1. Use
model.component("comp1").mesh("mesh2").geometricModel("");
to specify that mesh2 is defining its own geometric model. Use
model.component("comp1").mesh("mesh3").geometricModel("mesh/mesh1");
to specify that mesh3 is operating on the geometric model of mesh1. See also Using Mesh-Based Geometries.
The physics is defined on the component’s geometric model. For more information, see model.component().
