Description |
Mesh Generation Control data structure |
Usage |
Mesh_control_data NUM=ival where ival is the data structure number |
Description |
Overview THe Mesh_control_data structure defines: •The mesh generation algorithm to be used, generally either a structured or unstructured algorithm. •A flag to denote whether a a simulation should be performed subsequent to mesh generation •A list of mesh region sets to be used in unstructured mesh generation •A list of mesh curvature sets to be used in unstructured mesh generation
Notes •In addition to the geometry and mesh generation data structures, Group_control_data and Group_data must also be specified to identify the geometry to be meshed and the element types to be used.

 | Generation_algorithm Mesh generation type (Compulsory) |
Usage |
||||
|
||||
Description |
||||
Allow definition of the mesh generation type. Valid values are: • 1 - Structured - Structured ( Structured_mesh_data must also be specified for Structured mesh generation) • 2 - Unstructured - Unstructured ( Unstructured_mesh_data must also be specified for unstructured mesh generation)
|
| Mesh_generation_flag Mesh generation only flag |
Usage |
||||
|
||||
Description |
||||
Flag denoting whether an analysis simulation should be performed. Valid values are: • 0 - Perform simulation (Default) • 1 - Mesh generation only
|
| Output_level Flag for indicating amount of output to the log (.res) file |
Usage |
||||
|
||||
Description |
||||
Flag for indicating amount of output to the log (.res) file. Valid values are: • 0 - minimum output (default) • 1 - medium level output • 2 - maximum level output
|
| Patch_generation_flag Flag for indicating amount of output to the log (.res) file |
Usage |
||||
|
||||
Description |
||||
Flag for indicating 4 element patches should be generated for Tmpb4 element: • 0 - No patch generation (default) • 1 - Generate patch elements by generating and sub-dividing quadratic triangles (2-D only)
