Description

This command meshes area connectors.

Inputs

ce_mark

Mark of area connectors.

elementsize

Element size for meshing.

elem_type

Flag indicating the elements generated for mapped meshing algorithms. Valid values are:

0 - trias

1 - quads

2 - mixed

3 - right trias

elem_type_2

Flag indicating the elements generated for free meshing algorithms. Valid values are:

0 - trias

1 - quads

2 - mixed

3 - right trias

link_opposite_edge

Make opposite edge having the same node density.

1 - Yes

0 - No

size_control

Determines if uniform size elements in mapping algorithms should be created.

1 - Yes

0 - No

skew_control

Determines if optimal shape elements in mapping algorithms should be created.

1 - Yes

0 - No

edge_mesh_algorithm

Determines the algorithm for edge/surface meshing:

0 - Standard edge meshing.

1 - Chordal deviation edge meshing.

min_size

Minimum edge size for chordal deviation edge meshing..

max_size

Maximum edge size for chordal deviation edge meshing.

chordal_dev

Chordal deviation for chordal deviation edge meshing.

max_angle

Maximum angle value (in degrees) between edges for chordal deviation edge meshing.

param1

For future use.

param2

For future use.

A meshed area connector displays as a plane with virtual quad elements.
