Submesh is a mesh on a geometrical subobject created with algorithms
|
|
|
|
|
and/or hypotheses other than the algorithms and hypotheses assigned to
|
|
|
|
|
the parent mesh on the parent object.
|
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
|
If a geometrical subobject belongs to several geometrical objects
|
|
|
|
|
having different meshes or submeshes, it will be meshed with the
|
|
|
|
|
hypotheses of a submesh of a lower dimension.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
For example, a face of a box is meshed with a submesh using algorithms
|
|
|
|
|
and hypotheses other than the parent mesh on the whole box. The face
|
|
|
|
|
and the box share four edges, which will be meshed with algorithms and
|
|
|
|
|
hypotheses of the submesh on the face, because the face is a 2D object
|
|
|
|
|
while the box is a 3D object. <br>
|
|
|
|
|
If the dimensions are the same, an arbitrary algorithm/hypothesis
|
|
|
|
|
will be used. This means that an edge shared by two faces each having
|
|
|
|
|
its own different submesh, will be meshed using algorithms and
|
|
|
|
|
hypotheses of any of the two, chosen randomly. <br>

\n Construction of a submesh consists of:
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Selecting a mesh which will encapsulate your submesh</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Selecting a geometrical object for meshing</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Applying one or several previously described
|
|
|
|
|
\ref about_hypo_page "hypotheses" and
|
|
|
|
|
\ref basic_meshing_algos_page "meshing algorithms" which will be used
|
|
|
|
|
at computation of this submesh</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

The following dialog box will appear:

It allows to define the \b Name, the parent \b Mesh and the \b
|
|
|
|
|
Geometry (e.g. a face if the parent mesh has been built on box) of the
|
|
|
|
|
submesh. You can define algorithms and hypotheses in the same way as
|
|
|
|
|
in \ref constructing_meshes_page "Create mesh" menu.
|
|
|
|

|
|

\par
|
|
|
|

In the Object Browser the structure of the new submesh will be
|
|
|
|

displayed as follows:

It contains:
