COMSOL 6.3 - Midsurface

Midsurface

Generate a surface object that is the midsurface of a solid object in 3D.

Syntax

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

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);

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).
setAttribute(attribute,<value>);

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

Description

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature().
create(<ftag>,"Midsurface")

creates a Midsurface feature.

Use

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).
selection("input")

to select the objects for the midsurface operation. The default selection is empty.

Table 3-56: Available properties.
Property	Value	Default	Description
repair	on \| off	on	Repair overlaps
split	on \| off	off	Split in smooth components
selresult	on \| off	off	Create selections of all resulting objects.
selresultshow	all \| obj \| dom \| bnd \| edg \| pnt \| off	dom	Show selections of resulting objects in physics, materials, and so on, or in part instances. obj is not available in a component’s geometry. dom, bnd, and edg are not available in all features.
contributeto	String	none	Cumulative selection to contribute to

For information about the selresult, selresultshow and contributeto properties, search the online help in COMSOL Multiphysics to locate and search all the documentation.

The following attributes are available:

Table 3-57: Valid attributes
Name	Value	Default	Description
construction	on \| off \| inherit	inherit	Designate the resulting objects as construction geometry. Use inherit to set the construction geometry attribute only if all input objects are construction geometry.

Example

Generate the midsurface of a thin block:

Model model = ModelUtil.create("Model1");

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

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

model.component("comp1").geom("geom1").geomRep("cadps");

model.component("comp1").geom("geom1").create("blk1", "Block");

model.component("comp1").geom("geom1").feature("blk1").
set("size", new String[]{"1", "1", "0.1"});

model.component("comp1").geom("geom1").
create("mid1", "Midsurface");

model.component("comp1").geom("geom1").feature("mid1").
selection("input").set(new String[]{"blk1"});

model.component("comp1").geom("geom1").run();
