Class MiSkinExtractUnstructured

java.lang.Object

com.openinventor.meshvizxlm.extractors.skin.MiSkinExtractUnstructured

All Implemented Interfaces:

MiBaseExtractor, MiExtractorUnstructured

public abstract class MiSkinExtractUnstructured
extends java.lang.Object
implements MiExtractorUnstructured

Skin extractor for an unstructured volume mesh.

Performs 2 types of extraction:

• extractSkin(MiCellFilterI) builds a MeXSurfaceMeshUnstructured interfaces containing the skin of the given mesh. The skin of a mesh is made up of all the faces that belong to only one cell. Scalar and vector sets can be mapped onto this surface by calling extractScalarSet(MiScalardSetI) and extractVec3Set(MiVec3dSetI).
• extractLineSkin(MiCellFilterI) builds a MeXLineMeshUnstructured interface containing the line skin of the given mesh, which is made up of the edges from the faces that belong to the skin.

Internal faces and edges of a mesh will not be displayed except if they are adjacent to dead cells.

Note: No dataset mapping is available on the line skin.

Parameters:

mesh - the input mesh

Returns:

a skin extractor for unstructured volume mesh

extractSkin

public abstract MeXSurfaceMeshUnstructured<MeXSurfaceCell,MeXSurfaceTopologyExplicitI<MeXSurfaceCell>,MeXGeometryI> extractSkin(MiCellFilterI cellFilter)

Builds the topology and geometry of a mesh skin.

Parameters:

cellFilter - the cell filter

Returns:

the skin extracted as an unstructured surface mesh.
