Hi! I'm working with the aas toolbox in Matlab and I would like to obtain the minimum and maximum length scales of the mesh in order to automatically set de parameters for my dynamical mesh. I leave a screen caption in order to better showcase what I'm looking for.

I don't know the answer but I can tell you how to find out.


Just press enter and all available non-hidden TUI commands will show up.

Thanks for the fast response. Yeah, I have been looking througout all the commands and I don't manage to find it. I don't understand why it is not in /define/dynamic-mesh/controls/remeshing-parameters . I mean you can define the max and min length scale there but I need to know the parameters of the specific mesh in order to properly do that.

Code:
(rpgetvar 'dynamesh/remesh/max-length-scale)
(rpgetvar 'dynamesh/remesh/min-length-scale)
if you want to set other values than

Code:
(rpsetvar 'dynamesh/remesh/max-length-scale 777.77)
(rpsetvar 'dynamesh/remesh/min-length-scale 1313.13)

Sorry for bothering you again but do you know where could I look for all the existing variables I can retrieve with rpgetvar? I would like to automatically assess the amount of boundaries and their size (number of facets).

Thanks again!

Save the .cas file as an ascii file (and not binary). It is default anyway ascii.

Open it with a text editor. You can inspect line by line all the available variables that rpgetvar can retrieve.


Do this on a case with a very small mesh if you don't want to open a huge file.

Hi Xabierenko,

Do you know if it's possible to set the default options for the remeshing parameters using text command? Or to retrieve the min/max length for the current mesh. I couldn't find the right command in the case file.

Thank you in advance!

Best,
Juud
