PyFoam.RunDictionary.BlockMesh module

Manipulate a C{blockMeshDict}

class PyFoam.RunDictionary.BlockMesh.BlockMesh(name, backup=False)

Bases: FileBasisBackup

Represents a C{blockMeshDict}-file

__annotations__ = {}

__endProcess(newMesh, getContent=True)

__init__(name, backup=False)

Parameters:

• name – The name of the parameter file

• backup – create a backup-copy of the file

__module__ = 'PyFoam.RunDictionary.BlockMesh'

__startProcess()

_getVertexes()

Get a dictionary with the 3 components of each vertex as keys and the ‘raw’ line as the value

mergeVertices(other)

Merge in the vertexes from another mesh after our own vertexes

normalizePatches()

Rotate patches so that they start with the lowest number vertex

numberVertices(prefix='')

Add comments with the number of the vertex after them :param prefix: a string to add before the number

refineMesh(factors, offset=(0, 0, 0), getContent=False, addOld=True)

Refine the Mesh by multiplying the number of cells in the blocks :param factors: either a scalar to scale in all directions or a tuple with the value for each direction :param offset: an optional tuple for an additionnal offset value for each direction :param getContent: Return the contents instead of writing a fil. Main purpose of this parameter is not to break compatibility with old versions

renumberVertices(other)

Renumber the vertices in the current mesh according to another mesh

stripVertexNumber()

Remove comments after vertices
