zone.face.group

Syntax

s := zone.face.group(z,iside<,slot>)

zone.face.group(z,iside<,slot>) := s

Note

• In the description below, the following correspondence is assumed between 3D and 2D analysis:

  • There is no 2D equivalence for 3D zone edges

  • 3D zone faces (surfaces) <-> 2D zone edges (lines)

Get/set the group name assigned to face iside of zone z in slot slot, if provided. On get, the slot named 'Default' is used if slot is not provided. On set, if slot is omitted, all group/slot assignments are returned.

On get, the return string enumerates all group/slot assignments present on the face in the format “SlotName=GroupName,SlotName=GroupName”.

On set, a group index may be used instead of a string for s. On get or set, a slot index may be used instead of a string for slot. Indices operate more efficiently than strings.*

Returns:

s - group name or index*; “None” if no group is assigned

Accepts:

s - group name or index*; if “None” is used the group name will be cleared

Arguments:

z - zone pointer

iside - index of the zone face, from 1 to 4 in 2D and from 1 to 6 in 3D

slot - slot name or index*;

Note

*Use the group.find and group.find.slot intrinsics to obtain group and slot indices, respectively, and for further information.

Use of the group logic is described in Groups.
