Overview

Methods

commit	Save feature: send the local data to the speos server database.
reset	Reset feature: override local data by the one from the speos server database.
delete	Delete feature: delete data from the speos server database.

Properties

geo_path	Geometry path to be used within other speos objects.
vertices	Get face vertices.
facets	Get face facets.
normals	Get face normals.
vertices_data	List of data applied to vertices (like texture coordinates uv).

Attributes

face_link

Link object for the face in database.

Special methods

__str__

Return the string representation of the face.

Import detail

from ansys.speos.core.face import Face

Property detail

property Face.geo_path: ansys.speos.core.geo_ref.GeoRef

Geometry path to be used within other speos objects.

property Face.vertices: List[float]

Get face vertices.

Returns:

List[float]

Coordinates of all points [p1x p1y p1z p2x p2y p2z …].

property Face.facets: List[int]

Get face facets.

Returns:

List[int]

Indexes of points for all triangles (t1_1 t1_2 t1_3 t2_1 t2_2 t2_3 …).

property Face.normals: List[float]

Get face normals.

Returns:

List[float]

Normal vectors for all points [n1x n1y n1z n2x n2y n2z …].

property Face.vertices_data: list[ansys.speos.core.generic.parameters.MeshData]

List of data applied to vertices (like texture coordinates uv).

Each MeshData will be stored in a specific channel. This data can be used for example to apply a texture on the face by associating the uv coordinates to the vertices and then applying a texture with UV mapping on the face.

Returns:

list[ansys.speos.core.generic.parameters.MeshData]

List of MeshData
