MeshInfo#

class ansys.dpf.core.mesh_info.MeshInfo(generic_data_container=None, mesh_info=None, server=None)#

Hold the information relative to a mesh region.

This class describes the available mesh information.

Parameters:

server (ansys.dpf.core.server, optional) – Server with the channel connected to the remote or local instance. The default is None, in which case an attempt is made to use the global server.
generic_data_container (ansys.dpf.core.generic_data_container, optional) – Generic data container that is wrapped into the mesh info.
mesh_info (optional) – Hold the information of the mesh region into a generic data container.

Examples

Explore the mesh info from the model

>>> from ansys.dpf import core as dpf
>>> from ansys.dpf.core import examples
>>> fluent = examples.fluid_axial_model()
>>> model = dpf.Model(fluent)
>>> mesh_info = model.metadata.mesh_info

Notes

Class available with server’s version starting at 7.0 (2024 R1 pre0).

property generic_data_container: GenericDataContainer#
