MeshQuery

class cee.usg.MeshQuery()

Class for querying the FEA mesh in an UnstructGridModel.

You can use this class to both interrogate a mesh in its local coordinates and to query a state in the model. If a state is specified the returned data will be in global coordinates, taking any displacement and transformation result into account.

Constructors

constructor

cee.usg.MeshQuery.constructor(mesh)

Create the query object.

Arguments

mesh (cee.usg.Mesh) –

Return type

cee.usg.MeshQuery

If a mesh is specified, the query will be based on the mesh elements and nodes. The coordinate system of the returned data will be in mesh local coordinates.

If a state and part index is specified, the results (displacement and transformations) will be applied if in use. So, in this case the coordinate system of the returned data will be in global coordinates.

cee.usg.MeshQuery.constructor(state, partIndex)

Create the query object.

Arguments

state (cee.usg.State) –
partIndex (number) –

Return type

cee.usg.MeshQuery

If a mesh is specified, the query will be based on the mesh elements and nodes. The coordinate system of the returned data will be in mesh local coordinates.

If a state and part index is specified, the results (displacement and transformations) will be applied if in use. So, in this case the coordinate system of the returned data will be in global coordinates.

Methods

getElementCentroid

cee.usg.MeshQuery.getElementCentroid(elementIndex)

Returns the centroid of the given element

Arguments

elementIndex (number) –

Return type

cee.Vec3

If a mesh is specified in the constructor, the coordinate system of the returned data will be in mesh local coordinates. If a state and part index is specified in the constructor, the coordinate system of the returned data will be in global coordinates.

getElementNodeIndices

cee.usg.MeshQuery.getElementNodeIndices(elementIndex)

Returns an array containing the node indices for each element node in the given element

Arguments

elementIndex (number) –

Return type

ArrayLike[number]

getElementSurfaceNormal

cee.usg.MeshQuery.getElementSurfaceNormal(elementIndex)

Returns the surface normal of the given element

Arguments

elementIndex (number) –

Return type

cee.Vec3

If a mesh is specified in the constructor, the coordinate system of the returned data will be in mesh local coordinates. If a state and part index is specified in the constructor, the coordinate system of the returned data will be in global coordinates.

getNodePosition

cee.usg.MeshQuery.getNodePosition(nodeIndex)

Returns the position of the given node in the given part in this state.

Arguments

nodeIndex (number) –

Return type

cee.Vec3

If a mesh is specified in the constructor, the coordinate system of the returned data will be in mesh local coordinates. If a state and part index is specified in the constructor, the coordinate system of the returned data will be in global coordinates.
