COMSOL 6.4 - ProjectToFaces

ProjectToFaces

Project edges onto faces in 3D to create imprints.

Syntax

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

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>,"ProjectToFaces")

creates a ProjectToFaces feature.

Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).
selection("target") to select the faces to project to. The default selection is empty.

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

Table 3-69: Available properties.
Property	Value	Default	Description
target	Selection		Faces to project to
imprint	on \| off	on	Imprint projected entities on target faces.
tool	Selection		Entities to project
projdir	perptotarget \| vector \| edge \| perspective	perptotarget	Projection direction
dirvector	double[3]	0,0,0	Direction vector used when projdir is vector
edge	Selection		Straight edge used when projdir is edge
eyevertex	Selection		Vertex for eye position used when projdir is perspective
maxdist	double	Inf	Maximum distance for projection
repairtoltype	auto \| relative \| absolute	auto	Repair tolerance
repairtol	double		Relative repair tolerance used when repairtoltype is relative
absrepairtol	double		Absolute repair tolerance used when repairtoltype is absolute
extendedges	on \| off	off	Extend projected edges.
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.
color	none \| custom \| integer between 1 and the number of colors in the current theme	none	The color of the selection, either given as an integer indicating a color in the color theme, or as a custom color in the customcolor property. Coloring is only available when selresult is active.
customcolor	RGB-triplet	Next available theme color	The color to use. Active when color is set to custom.
contributeto	String	none	Tag of cumulative selection to contribute to.
propagatesel	on \| off	on	Propagate selections from input objects to resulting objects.

The following attributes are available:

Table 3-70: 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.
