COMSOL 6.3 - EdgeMap

EdgeMap

Specify an edge map for the copy operations and the IdenticalMesh feature to control the orientation of the source mesh on the destination.

Syntax

model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).create(<ftag1>,"EdgeMap");

model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).feature(<ftag1>).selection(property);

model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).feature(<ftag1>).
set(property,<value>);

model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).feature(<ftag1>).getType(property);

Description

Use model.component(<ctag>).mesh(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).create(<ftag1>,"EdgeMap") to define an edge mapping for CopyFace or CopyDomain feature <ftag>.

The following properties are available:

Table 4-49: Available Properties.
Property	Value	Default	Description
direction	auto \| same \| opposite	auto	The direction of dstedge relative srcedge.
dstedge	Selection		Edge on destination face/domain.
srcedge	Selection		Edge on source face/domain.

Use the EdgeMap feature if you need to control how the source and destination faces/domains are matched in a copy mesh operation and in an IdenticalMesh feature. When this feature is present, the source mesh is transformed so that srcedge is mapped onto dstedge. The relative orientation of the edges is specified by the direction property.

Example

Create a block and then mesh Face 1 with a fine mesh on Edge 1. Copy this mesh to face 6 and ensure that the fine mesh of Edge 1 ends up on Edge 12.

Code for Use with Java

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

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

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

MeshSequence m= model.component("comp1").mesh().create("mesh1", "geom1");

g.create("blk1", "Block");

g.run();

m.create("ftri1", "FreeTri");

m.feature("ftri1").selection().set(new int[]{1});

m.feature("ftri1").create("size1", "Size");
