GeometricObjects

Within GeometricObjects classes for different geometric objects used in the GmshModel are defined. The geometric objects are used within the geometry generation to create Gmsh model from basic geometry entities.

Class Definitions

GeometricObject

class gmshModel.Geometry.GeometricObjects.GeometricObject(dimension=None, group='default')[source]

Bases: object

Definition of a generic geometric object

This class is the parent class of all geometric objects and provides general information that all objects should have

Attributes:

dimension: int: dimension of the RVE
group: string: string defining which group the geometric object belongs to

addToGmshModel(gmshModel)[source]

Add a representation of the geometric object to the Gmsh model

Parameters:

gmshModel: class object: model class of the Gmsh-Python-API that holds the Gmsh-specific current model information

Box

class gmshModel.Geometry.GeometricObjects.Box(size=None, origin=[0, 0, 0], group='default')[source]

Bases: GeometricObject

Definition of a Box object

This class is a child class of geometricObject and provides additional information for objetcs of type Box
