mesh_flatness
- compas.datastructures.mesh_flatness(mesh, maxdev=1.0)[source]
Compute mesh flatness per face.
- Parameters:
- mesh
compas.datastructures.Mesh A mesh object.
- maxdevfloat, optional
A maximum value for the allowed deviation from flatness.
- mesh
- Returns:
- dict[int, float]
For each face, a deviation from flatness.
Warning
This function only works as expected for quadrilateral faces.
Notes
The “flatness” of a face is expressed as the ratio of the distance between the diagonals to the average edge length. For the fabrication of glass panels, for example, 0.02 could be a reasonable maximum value.
