SolidUtils.TessellateSolidOrShell

Method

Description:
This function facets (i.e., triangulates) a solid or an open shell. Each boundary component of the solid or shell is represented by a single triangulated structure.

Remarks:
Every point on the triangulation of a boundary component of the solid (or shell) should lie within the 3D distance specified by the "accuracy" input of some point on the triangulation, and vice-versa. In some cases, this constraint may be implemented heuristically (not rigorously).

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
solidOrShell	Solid	The solid or shell to be faceted.
tessellationControls	SolidOrShellTessellationControls	This input controls various aspects of the triangulation.

Return Value

Type	Description
TriangulatedSolidOrShell	The triangulated structures corresponding to the boundary components of the input solid or the components of the input shell.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	solidOrShell is not valid for triangulation (for example, it contains no faces).
