A block is a an elementary geometric solid that
has specific geometric constraints oriented for meshing. In the hexahedral
case, blocks have 6 faces and each face has 4 edges. Introduction.
Below are some general notions about blocks:
A block is a an elementary geometric solid that
has specific geometric constraints oriented for meshing. In the hexahedral
case, blocks have 6 faces and each face has 4 edges.
Tetrahedral Block - is a block with constraints for tetrahedral meshing.
Hexahedral Block - is a block with constraints for hexahedral meshing.
Block Compound - is a compound composed of blocks only.
To build a compound the user may take the following steps:
Description: Builds a face using the below mentioned arguments. This operation allows to build a face bypassing the intermediate stage of building edges and wires (in the case of building by 4 points) or wires (in the case of building by 4 or 2 edges).
Result : GEOM_Object.
TUI Command:
geompy.MakeQuadFaceVertices(V1, V2, V3, V4), where V1, V2, V3, V4 are four vertices from which a face is constructed. Edges are created automatically.
geompy.MakeQuadFaceEdges(E1, E2), where E1, E2 are edges from which the face is constructed, two other edges are created automatically.
geompy.MakeQuadFace(E1, E2, E3, E4), where E1, E2, E3, E4 are four edges from which the face is constructed.
Arguments:
4 Points, or
2 Edges, or
4 Edges.

Example:
Description: Builds a hexahedral solid either of the below mentioned arguments. This operation allows to build a solid bypassing the intermediate stage of building a shell and 4 faces (in the case of building by 2 faces) or just a shell (in the case of building by 6 faces).
Result : GEOM_Object.
TUI Command:
geompy.MakeHexaSolid(F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6), where F1 – F6 are six faces from which the hexahedron is constructed.
geompy.MakeHexaSolidTwoFaces(F1, F2), where F1 and F2 are faces from which the hexahedron is constructed, other four faces are created automatically.
Arguments:
2 Faces, or
6 Faces.
