Mesh

A mesh consisting of mesh entities that represents the simulated model.

Example

app = pf.GetApplication()
app:NewProject()
app:OpenFile(FEKO_HOME..[[/shared/Resources/Automation/startup.fek]])
sConf = app.Models["startup"].Configurations[1]
mesh = sConf.Mesh
points = mesh.Points

    -- Iterate through 'TriangleFaces' and print the first two 'Triangles' 
    -- vertex indices as well as their locations
    
TriangleFaces_count = mesh.TriangleFaces.Count
for i = 1, TriangleFaces_count do
    triangle = mesh.TriangleFaces[i].Triangles -- Create a member to ensure the best performance
    for j = 1, 2 do
       print("Triangle "..j)
       print(triangle[j])
       print("Vertex locations")
       print(points[triangle[j].VertexIndices[1]]) -- Accessing member here will be faster than
       print(points[triangle[j].VertexIndices[2]]) -- querying the mesh for its points each time
       print(points[triangle[j].VertexIndices[3]])
    end
end
