\page prism_3d_algo_page 3D extrusion meshing algorithm
|
|
|
|
3D extrusion algorithm can be used for meshing prisms, i.e. 3D shapes
|
|
defined by two opposing faces having the same number of vertices and
|
|
edges. These two faces should be connected by quadrangle "side" faces.
|
|
|
|
The prism is allowed to have sides composed of several faces. (A prism
|
|
side is a row of faces (or one face) connecting corresponding edges of
|
|
the top and base faces). But there is a limitation that a prism
|
|
side is allowed to be split only vertically as indicated in the
|
|
picture below.
|
|

|
|
In this picture, the left prism is suitable for meshing with 3D
|
|
extrusion algorithm; it has six sides two of which are split
|
|
vertically. And the right prism can't be meshed with this
|
|
algorithm because one of the prism sides is split horizontally (a
|
|
splitting edge is highlighted).
|
|
|
|
The algorithm can propagate 2D mesh not only between horizontal
|
|
(i.e. base and top) faces of one prism but also between faces of prisms
|
|
organized in a stack and between stacks sharing prism sides.
|
|
|
|
\image html prism_stack.png
|
|
In this picture, four neighboring prism stacks, each comprising two prisms,
|
|
are shown. The shown sub-mesh is used by the algorithm to mesh
|
|
all the eight prisms in the stacks.
|
|
|
|
To use <em>3D extrusion</em> algorithm you need to assign algorithms
|
|
and hypotheses of lower dimension as follows.
|
|
(A sample picture below shows algorithms and hypotheses used to
|
|
mesh a cylinder with prismatic volumes).

\b Global algorithms and hypotheses to be chosen at
|
|
\ref create_mesh_anchor "Creation of a mesh object" are:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> 1D algorithm and hypothesis that will be applied for meshing
|
|
(logically) vertical edges of the prism (these edges connect the top and
|
|
base faces of prism). In the sample picture above these are
|
|
"Regular_1D" algorithm and "Nb. Segments_1" hypothesis.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
\b Local algorithms and hypotheses to be chosen at
|
|
\ref constructing_submeshes_page "Constructing sub-meshes" are:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> 1D and 2D algorithms and hypotheses that will be applied for
|
|
meshing the top and base prism faces. These faces can be meshed
|
|
with any type of 2D elements: quadrangles, triangles, polygons or
|
|
their mix. It's enough to define a sub-mesh on either top or base
|
|
face. In the sample picture above, "BLSURF" algorithm meshes
|
|
"Face_1" base surface with triangles. (1D algorithm is not
|
|
assigned as "BLSURF" does not require divided edges to create 2D mesh.)
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li> Optionally you can define an 1D sub-mesh on some vertical edges
|
|
of stacked prisms, which will override the global 1D hypothesis mentioned
|
|
above. In the picture above the picture of Object Browser, the
|
|
vertical division is not equidistant on all the length because of
|
|
a "Number Of Segments" hypothesis with Scale Factor=3 assigned to
|
|
the highlighted edge.
|
|
</li></ul>

Prism with 3D extrusion meshing. "Vertical" division is different on

neighbor edges due to local 1D hypotheses assigned.
