MeshDisplayOptions object

The MeshDisplayOptions object stores settings that specify how the assembly is displayed in a particular viewport when 

session.viewports[name].assemblyDisplay.mesh=ON

The MeshDisplayOptions object has no constructor. When you create a new viewport, the settings are copied from the current viewport.

The following topics are discussed:

Access

session.viewports[name].assemblyDisplay.meshOptions
session.viewports[name].layers[name].assemblyDisplay.meshOptions
session.viewports[name].layers[name].partDisplay.meshOptions
session.viewports[name].partDisplay.meshOptions

setValues(...)

This method modifies the MeshDisplayOptions object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

nodeLabels

A Boolean specifying whether node labels are shown. The default value is OFF.

elementLabels

A Boolean specifying whether element labels are shown. The default value is OFF.

meshVisibleEdges

A SymbolicConstant specifying how the mesh's edges are drawn. Possible values are:

  • ALL, specifying that all edges are shown.

  • EXTERIOR, specifying that only exterior edges are shown.

  • FEATURE, specifying that edges are shown based on featureAngle.

  • FREE, specifying that only free edges are shown.

  • NONE, specifying that no display edges are shown.

The default value is EXTERIOR.

featureAngle

A Float specifying the angle in degrees to be used in calculating a feature edge plot. Possible values are 0 ≤ featureAngle ≤ 90. The default value is 20.0.

meshEdgesInShaded

A Boolean specifying whether mesh edges are displayed in shaded mode. The default value is ON.

meshTechnique

A Boolean specifying whether the regions of the assembly will be color coded based on the meshing technique assigned to the regions. This argument is ignored in partDisplay. The default value is OFF.

seeds

A Boolean specifying whether seeds are shown. This argument is ignored in partDisplay. The default value is OFF.

Return value

None.

Exceptions

RangeError.
