In the Mesh module you can set mesh preferences, which can be used right now
|
|
or in later sessions with this module according to the preferences.
|
|
|
|
<h2>General Preferences</h2>
|
|
|
|
\image html pref21.png
|
|
|
|
- <b>Automatic Update</b>
|
|
- If you toggle <b>Automatic Update</b> checkbox, the model in your
|
|
viewer will be automatically updated when you make changes in it, depending on
|
|
values of additional preferences specified below.
|
|
- <b>Size limit (elements)</b> - allows specifying the maximum
|
|
number of elements in the resulting mesh for which the automatic updating
|
|
of the presentation is performed. This option affects only
|
|
<b>Compute</b> operation. Zero value means "no limit". Default value
|
|
is 500 000 mesh elements.
|
|
- <b>Incremental limit check</b> - when this control is switched on,
|
|
the mesh size limit check is not applied to the total number of
|
|
elements in the resulting mesh, it is applied iteratively to each entity type
|
|
in the following order: 0D elements, edges, faces, volumes, balls.
|
|
At each step the number of entities of a certain type is added to the
|
|
total number of elements computed at the previous step - if the resulting
|
|
number of elements does not exceed the size limit, the entities of
|
|
this type are shown, otherwise the user is warned that some entities are not shown.
|
|
|
|
- <b>Quality Controls</b>
|
|
- If you toggle <b>Display entity</b>, both faces and edges of an
|
|
object will be displayed in the viewer by default.
|
|
- If you toggle <b>Use precision</b> checkbox, you can display numbers in
|
|
<b>Quality Control</b> diagrams at the necessary level of precision.
|
|
- <b>Number of digits after point</b> - defines precision for
|
|
<b>Quality Controls</b>. By default, numbers in <b>Quality Control</b>
|
|
diagrams are presented as integers.
|
|
- <b>Double nodes tolerance</b> defines the maximal distance between two
|
|
mesh nodes, at which they are considered coincident by <b>Double nodes</b>
|
|
quality control.
|
|
|
|
- <b>Display mode</b>
|
|
- <b>Default display mode</b> - allows to set Wireframe, Shading, Nodes or Shrink
|
|
presentation mode as default.
|
|
|
|
- <b>Representation of the 2D quadratic elements</b>
|
|
- <b>Default mode of the 2D quadratic elements</b> combo-box - allows
|
|
to select lines or arcs for representation of quadratic elements as default.
|
|
- <b>Maximum Angle</b> - maximum deviation angle used by the
|
|
application to build arcs.
|
|
|
|
- <b>Mesh export</b>
|
|
- If you toggle <b>Automatically create groups for MED export</b> check-box,
|
|
this operation will be carried out automatically.
|
|
|
|
- <b>Mesh computation</b>
|
|
- <b>Show a computation result notification</b> combo-box allows to
|
|
select the notification mode about a mesh computation result.
|
|
There are 3 possible modes:
|
|
- <b>Never</b> - do not show the result dialog at all;
|
|
- <b>Errors only</b> - the result dialog will be shown if there were
|
|
some errors during a mesh computation;
|
|
- <b>Always</b> - show the result dialog after each mesh
|
|
computation. This is a default mode.
|
|
|
|
- <b>Mesh information</b>
|
|
- <b>Mesh element information</b> - change the way mesh element
|
|
information is shown:
|
|
- <b>Simple</b> - as a plain text
|
|
- <b>Tree</b> - in a tree-like form
|
|
- <b>Automatic nodes compute limit</b> - allows defining the size limit for the
|
|
mesh groups for which the number of underlying nodes is calculated
|
|
automatically. If the group size exceeds the value set in the preferences,
|
|
the user will have to press \em Compute button explicitly. Zero value
|
|
means "no limit". By default the value is set to 100 000 mesh elements.
|
|
- <b>Automatic controls compute limit</b> - allows defining the size limit for the
|
|
mesh elements for which the Aspect Ratio histogram is calculated
|
|
automatically. If the mesh elements size exceeds the value set in the preferences,
|
|
it is possible to press \b Compute button explicitly to calculate the histogram . Zero value
|
|
means "no limit". By default the value is set to 3 000 mesh elements.
|
|
- <b>Show details on groups in element information tab</b> - when
|
|
this option is switched off (default), only the names of groups, to which the node
|
|
or element belongs, are shown in the \ref mesh_element_info_anchor "Info Tab"
|
|
tab of "Mesh Information" dialog box. If this option is
|
|
switched on, the detailed information on groups is shown.
|
|
- <b>Dump base information</b> - allows dumping base mesh information to the
|
|
file, see \ref mesh_infos_page.
|
|
- <b>Dump element information</b> - allows dumping element information to the
|
|
file, see \ref mesh_infos_page.
|
|
- <b>Dump additional information</b> - allows dumping additional mesh
|
|
information to the file, see \ref mesh_infos_page.
|
|
- <b>Dump controls information</b> - allows dumping quality mesh
|
|
information to the file, see \ref mesh_infos_page.
|
|
|
|
- <b>Automatic Parameters</b>
|
|
- <b>Ratio Bounding Box Diagonal / Max Size</b> - this parameter is
|
|
used for automatic meshing. This is the ratio between the bounding box of the
|
|
meshed object and the Max Size of segments.
|
|
- <b>Default Number of Segments</b> - defines the default
|
|
number of segments on each edge.
|
|
|
|
- <b>Mesh loading</b>
|
|
- If <b>No mesh loading from study file at hypothesis modification</b>
|
|
check-box is on, the mesh data will not be loaded from the study file
|
|
when a hypothesis is modified. This allows saving time by omitting
|
|
loading data of a large mesh that is planned to be recomputed with other parameters.
|
|
|
|
- <b>Input fields precision</b>
|
|
- <b>Length precision</b> - allows to adjust input precision of coordinates and dimensions.

|
|
- <b>Volume precision</b> - allows to adjust input precision of mesh element volume.
|
|
|
|
- <b>Preview</b>
|
|
- <b>Sub-shapes preview chunk size</b> - allows to limit the number
|
|
of previewed sub-shapes shown in the hypotheses creation dialog boxes,
|
|
for example "Reverse Edges" parameter of \ref number_of_segments_anchor "Number of segments" hypothesis.
|
|
|
|
- <b>Python Dump</b>
|
|
- <b>Historical python dump</b> checkbox allows switching between
|
|
\a Historical and \a Snapshot dump mode:
|
|
- In \a Historical mode, Python Dump script includes all commands
|
|
performed by SMESH engine.
|
|
- In \a Snapshot mode, the commands relating to objects removed
|
|
from the Study as well as the commands not influencing the
|
|
current state of meshes are excluded from the script.
