zone.geom.test
Syntax
- b := zone.geom.test(z)
Test the geometric fitness of a zone. Returns true if the zone is good and false if the zone is bad.
In FLAC3D, a zone is considered to have bad geometry if the zone contains negative or zero volume tetrahedra in its overlays.
In FLAC2D, a zone is considered to have bad geometry if the zone contains negative or zero area triangles in its overlays.
In addition to excessive large-strain deformation, the following are also causes of bad geometry: not following the gridpoint numbering conventions; or importing an externally generated grid from a grid generator that allows severely distorted zones. This function is useful for tagging and plotting these bad zones.
