OperationType

This enum is referenced in the “Step” tree node and reflects the type of operation being configured. Based on the type of an operation different rules are applied which define the applicable list of controls and outcomes which can be added.

Declaration Syntax

public enum OperationType

Table 1082: Members

Member

AddPrescribedPoints

An operation which adds a set of prescribed points to an already existing volume mesh of the model. The prescribed points are added as nodes of the volume mesh and the volume mesh is smoothen around the prescribed nodes locations to preserve the mesh quality.

Member

CreateEnclosure

An operation which creates an enclosure around a specified scope. Enclosures could be spherical, convex irregular, or user defined.

Member

CreateSurfaceMesh

An operation which creates surface meshes according to the parameters given.

Member

CreateTopology

An operation which converts a mesh-based part into a part with a topology representation.

Member

CreateVolumeMesh

An operation which creates volume meshes according to the parameters given.

Member

CreateVolumetricSizeField

An operation which creates a volumetric size field that can be used by the subsequent meshing operations.

Member

DeleteTopology

An operation which deletes the topology from a set of parts with mesh and topology representation.

Member

ExportMesh

An operation which exports the actual mesh data to a file.

Member

Extrude

An operation which extrudes the specified surface mesh layer-by-layer in a specified direction and forms one or more new volume zones.

Member

FillHoles

An operation which closes holes in surface meshes by creating patch surfaces. The inputs are the edge closed loops delimiting the holes.

Member

ImportMesh

An operation which imports mesh data from a file.

Member

ImproveSurfaceMesh

An operation which improves surface meshes according to the criteria given.

Member

ImproveVolumeMesh

An operation which improves volume meshes according to the criteria given.

Member

ManageZoneProperties

An operation which manages the zone properties of the model. After the transfer back to Mechanical, the zone properties are translated into the attributes of the corresponding bodies.

Member

MergeParts

An operation which combines multiple parts into one.

Member

MergeVolumes

An operation which combines multiple volume zones into one.

Member

PatchHoles

An operation which closes holes in surface meshes by creating patch surfaces. The inputs are the Material Points to Include and to Exclude from the closed volume region.

Member

Wrap

An operation which creates a closed surface around or inside a specified scope of the mesh, i.e., it allows to wrap regions of the mesh.
