CompositeEdges

Form composite edges.

Syntax

model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"CompositeEdges");

model.geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection(property);

model.geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property,<value>);

model.geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).getType(property);

Description

Use model.geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"CompositeEdges") to form composite edges.

Use model.geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection("input") to select the edges to concatenate. The default selection is empty.

The feature forms a composite edge for each connected edge component (of manifold type) of the selected edges by ignoring the vertices between the edges. The output object is a virtual geometry.

The following properties are available:

Table 3-37: Valid Properties

Name	Value	Default	Description
input	Selection		Edges to composite.
keepformesh	on | off	off	Keep input edges for mesh control.

Use keepformesh to keep the input edges while meshing, to help you in constructing the mesh.

Note that the operation never forms composite edges that are closed loops or periodic, that is, every resulting edge has distinct start and end vertices.

Example

Compose edges 2 and 4 of a circle into one edge.

Code for use with Java

Model model = ModelUtil.create("Model");

GeomSequence g = model.geom().create("geom1", 2);

g.create("c1", "Circle");

g.run("fin");

g.create("cme1", "CompositeEdges");

g.feature("cme1").selection("input").set("fin", 2, 4);

g.run();

Code for use with MATLAB

model = ModelUtil.create('Model');

g = model.geom.create('geom1', 2);

g.create('c1', 'Circle');

g.run('fin');

g.create('cme1', 'CompositeEdges');

g.feature('cme1').selection('input').set('fin', 2, 4);

g.run;
