A Pointwise Glyph script for generating curvature-resolved, conformal surface meshes on models using the ConformalMesher mode.
This script can be run either in GUI or batch mode.
GUI Mode
| Step | Notes |
|---|---|
| (Optional) Select one or more database models. | |
| Script, Execute..., ConformalModelMesher.glf | |
| If no models are selected, all visible models will be meshed. | |
| Set meshing parameters in the dialog presented. | |
MaximumAbsoluteDeviation: also referred to as "sag"
tolerance, this is the maximum absolute deviation, to
resolve the geometric curvature based on distance from
quadratic face stencil points to the underlying surface. |
|
MinimumEdgeLength: this is the minimum desired
triangle edge length. |
|
MaximumEdgeLength: this is the maximum desired
triangle edge length. |
|
MaximumAngleDeviation: maximum angular deviation, to
resolve the geometric curvature based on normal
deviation of mesh faces. |
|
| Press Create Mesh | |
