MeshEditOptions object

The MeshEditOptions object stores settings that specify the behavior when editing meshes on parts or part instances.

The MeshEditOptions object has no constructor. Abaqus creates the MeshEditOptions member when a session is started.

The following topics are discussed:

Access

mdb.meshEditOptions

setValues(...)

This method modifies the MeshEditOptions object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

maxUndoCacheElements

A Float specifying the maximum allowable mesh edit undo cache size in millions of elements. If this value is set to at least the number of elements on a given part or part instance, at least one level of undo/redo capability is assured for subsequent mesh edit operations on that part or part instance. The default value is 0.0.

enableUndo

A Boolean specifying whether undo/redo of mesh edit operations will be enabled. If enableUndo =OFF any existing cache for undo/redo operations will be cleared for all parts and assemblies in all models. The default value is OFF.

_suspendUndo

A Boolean specifying the suspension of undo/redo for mesh edit operations. When undo/redo is suspended, undo/redo will not be available after subsequent mesh edit operations on a given part or part instances. Any pre-existing cache for mesh edit operations on other parts or assemblies in any model will be unaffected. The default value is OFF.

If you change the value of enableUndo to True, Abaqus sets _suspendUndo to False.

Return value

None.

Exceptions

None.

Members

The MeshEditOptions object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the setValues method.
