Mesh Flatten (MF)

Mesh Flatten (MF)

Description

Flatten a mesh surface and measure the strain per mesh face (requires Kangaroo2 https://www.food4rhino.com/app/kangaroo-physics). Disclaimer: This is a work in progress and has not been fully tested and validated.

Inputs

  • Mesh (M) - [mesh] - Mesh to flatten
  • Plane (Pl) - [plane] - Plane to flatten mesh to
  • Threshold (Th) - [number] - Threshold for Kangaroo solver (~1e-7)
  • Max iterations (I) - [number] - Maximum iterations for the Kangaroo solver

Outputs

  • Iterations (I) - [number] - Iterations of the kangaroo solver
  • Flattened mesh (M) - [mesh] - The flattened mesh
  • Mesh faces (Mf) - [mesh] - Faces of the flattened mesh (exploded into separate meshes)
  • Ratio cP (cP) - [number] - Ratio of strain of mesh edges
  • cP Lines (LcP) - [line] - Lines for preview
  • Ratio cI (cI) - [number] - Ratio of strain on body centered lines
  • cI Lines (LcI) - [line] - Lines for preview
  • Ratio cF (cF) - [number] - Ratio of strain on face centered lines
  • cF Lines (LcF) - [line] - Lines for preview
  • Ratio average (Av) - [number] - Average ratio of strain per face
