Description
Displays basic statistics of existing mesh - number of nodes and elements of each type. Particularly, total number of the following features is shown:
- Nodes,
- Edges,
- Faces,
- Polygons,
- Volumes,
- Polyhedrons,
- Linear edges,
- Linear faces,
- Linear volumes,
- Quadratic edges,
- Quadratic faces,
- Quadratic triangles,
- Quadratic quadrangles,
- Quadratic volumes,
- Quadratic hexahedrons,
- Quadratic tetrahedrons,
- Quadratic prisms,
- Quadratic pyramids.
Usage
- Create finite element mesh first (using one of the available techniques).
- Select the mesh in the Tree View.
- Right click on it and choose the
Display Mesh Info option. - To close the Mesh Info window, click OK.
Scripting
# setup some model with a fem mesh to print information from
from femexamples.ccx_cantilever_faceload import setup
setup()
# print the fem mesh information
print(App.ActiveDocument.Mesh.FemMesh)
will output the following result:
>>> print(App.ActiveDocument.Mesh.FemMesh)
