available inputs: mesh (MeshedRegion), include_surfaces (bool) (optional), mesh_scoping (Scoping) (optional)

available outputs: mesh (MeshedRegion), nodes_mesh_scoping (Scoping)

Example

op = tri_mesh_skin()

op = tri_mesh_skin(mesh=my_mesh,include_surfaces=my_include_surfaces,mesh_scoping=my_mesh_scoping)

Class Information

Property Value
Namespace Ans.DataProcessing.operators.mesh
Assembly meshOperatorsCore_dll_cs
Base Class Ans.DataProcessing.internal_objects.BaseOperator

Inputs

mesh

Type: LinkableInput

include_surfaces

True: meshing will also take into account shell and skin elements. False: meshing will ignore shell and skin elements. The default is false.

Type: LinkableInput

mesh_scoping

Nodal scoping to restrict the skin extraction to a set of nodes. If provided, a skin element is added to the skin mesh if all its nodes are in the scoping.

Type: LinkableInput

Outputs

mesh

Type: LinkableOutput

nodes_mesh_scoping

Type: LinkableOutput
