Automatic mesh generation script surface intersection problem
 
3 Attachment(s)
Hi guys

I hope someone can help me with a problem I'm having trying to write an automatic mesh gen script, I have a script that loads separate files together and extracts the fluid domain, but it runs into trouble when trying to intersect a 1" tube with the symmetry plane. The following is part of the geometry cleanup out of my script:

#split geometry at curvature > 45 degrees
set split_surf [ic_geo_objects_in_family surface $partlist]
ic_geo_trm_srfs_by_curvature $split_surf 45

#get surface names from fluid domain walls
set inner_ground_surf [ic_geo_objects_in_family surface INNER_GROUND]
set inner_sym_surf [ic_geo_objects_in_family surface INNER_SYM]

#rebuild geometry
set famnames [ic_geo_non_empty_families]
ic_geo_delete_unattached $famnames 0 1
ic_build_topo 1 -angle 30 -create_interior BODY FRONT_WHEEL FRONT_WING INNER_INT INNER_GROUND INNER_SYM MAT_POINT REAR_WHEEL REAR_WING
ic_geo_delete_unattached $famnames

#create intersect curves
set asurfsa [list [ic_geo_get_objects surface FRONT_WING] [ic_geo_get_objects surface REAR_WING] [ic_geo_get_objects surface FRONT_WHEEL] [ic_geo_get_objects surface REAR_WHEEL] [ic_geo_get_objects surface BODY] [ic_geo_get_objects surface INNER_SYM] [ic_geo_get_objects surface INNER_GROUND]]
ic_geo_intersect_surfs_by_groups $asurfsa GEOM use_bsp multi_crv

#rebuild geometry
set famnames [ic_geo_non_empty_families]
ic_geo_delete_unattached $famnames 0 1
ic_build_topo 1 -angle 30 -create_interior BODY FRONT_WHEEL FRONT_WING INNER_INT INNER_GROUND INNER_SYM MAT_POINT REAR_WHEEL REAR_WING GEOM
ic_geo_delete_unattached $famnames

#load bounding box
ic_load_tetin geo/bounding_box.tin

#trim off all excess geom
set surfnames [ic_geo_objects_in_family surface {BODY FRONT_WING REAR_WING FRONT_WHEEL REAR_WHEEL}]
foreach asurf $surfnames {if {[ic_geo_srf_in_srf_fam_set $asurf BOUNDING_BOX] == 0} {ic_delete_geometry surface names $asurf} }

#unload bounding box
ic_delete_geometry all families BOUNDING_BOX
ic_geo_delete_family BOUNDING_BOX

#rebuild geometry
ic_geo_delete_unattached $famnames 0 1
ic_build_topo 1 -angle 30 -create_interior BODY FRONT_WHEEL FRONT_WING INNER_INT INNER_GROUND INNER_SYM MAT_POINT REAR_WHEEL REAR_WING GEOM
ic_geo_delete_unattached $famnames

#trim interior bounds from walls
set surfnames [ic_geo_objects_in_family surface INNER_SYM]
foreach asurf $surfnames {if {$asurf != $inner_sym_surf} {ic_delete_geometry surface names $asurf} }
set surfnames [ic_geo_objects_in_family surface INNER_GROUND]
foreach asurf $surfnames {if {$asurf != $inner_ground_surf} {ic_delete_geometry surface names $asurf} }


ICEM correctly creates the required curves between the intersecting faces using "ic_geo_intersect_surfs_by_groups", however not all of these curves are associating to the surfaces when i build the topology. I have attached some pictures to illustrate. Even if I increase the build topology tolerances, I still cannot get these yellow curves to turn red. Is there something I am missing or doing incorrectly?

Thanks
Stuart
