Use a mesh Import node (
) to import the Component’s geometry directly to a
Mesh-Based Geometry sequence or a Mesh sequence. If the geometry intersects any previously imported mesh, use a
Union operation to unite them.
In the Source list, choose
Geometry sequence and select a geometry sequence from the
Geometry list below.
From the Face mesh generation list, select
Free triangular (default) to import a triangle mesh, generated in the background by the
Free Triangular operation. Specify the size of the triangles using the
Size list, ranging from
Extremely fine to
Extremely coarse (default
Normal). Select the
Resolve narrow domain regions checkbox (default ON) to let the surface mesh be finer close to a thin region in the domain. Select the
Resolve geometric details checkbox (default ON) to let the surface mesh be finer close to small details and curved faces. Clear the checkboxes to let the element size be determined by the
Size setting only.
Select Visualization to import a visualization mesh of the geometry (3D only). Specify the level of detail for the triangulation using the
Detail list, ranging from
Fine to
Coarse (default
Normal).
The sections Domain Selections,
Boundary Selections (only 3D),
Edge Selections, and
Point Selections appear after building the
Import operation. The selections are generated during the import based on selections defined in the source. In the
Name column, the name of each selection appears. For import of a geometry sequence, each name is by default the name of the selection in the original geometry that appears in the
Source in geometry column. Select the name in the
Name column to highlight the selection in the
Graphics window. Note that not all of these selection sections are available for all space dimensions. If the
Keep checkbox (ON by default) is selected, the selection is available for use in mesh operations after the Import node. If the
Physics checkbox (
Instance in parts) is selected (ON by default), it makes that selection also available when defining, for example, physics and materials. If you are working in a mesh part, the selection will be available in instances of the mesh part.
