ShapeModel.generate_mesh

ShapeModel.generate_mesh(dim=2)

Generate a mesh of the current model.

Parameters:

dimint, optional

The dimension of the mesh.

Returns:

None

The mesh is stored in the model for further refinement and optimisation. To retrieve the generated mesh, use mesh_to_compas(), mesh_to_openmesh(), or mesh_to_tets().

Notes

The geometry is automatically synchronised with the underlying OCC model. Therefore, there is no need to call synchronize() before generating the mesh. To influence the meshing process, use the options of the model (options.mesh).
