VolMesh.add_halfface

VolMesh.add_halfface(vertices, fkey=None, attr_dict=None, **kwattr)[source]

Add a face to the volmesh object.

Parameters

  • vertices (list[int]) – A list of ordered vertex keys representing the face. For every vertex that does not yet exist, a new vertex is created.

  • fkey (int, optional) – The face identifier.

  • attr_dict (dict[str, Any], optional) – dictionary of halfface attributes.

  • **kwattr (dict[str, Any], optional) – A dictionary of additional attributes compiled of remaining named arguments.

Returns

int – The key of the face.

Notes

If no key is provided for the face, one is generated automatically. An automatically generated key is an integer that increments the highest integer value of any key used so far by 1.

If a key with an integer value is provided that is higher than the current highest integer key value, then the highest integer value is updated accordingly.
