mode command
Syntax
- extrude mesh mode keyword
-
Specify the operating mode for the unstructured mesher.
- mixed
Use triangles and quadrilaterals to create an unstructured mesh. The mesher attempts to create a quad-dominant (by area) mesh in this mode and may be able to fill a polygon with quadrilaterals only. However, if this is not posible, a mix of triangles and quadrilaterals is used. Thus, using this mode will always result in creating a mesh. This is the default option.
- quad
Use quadrilaterals only to create an unstructured mesh. Under certain conditions, the mesher may fail to create a mesh in this mode (e.g. odd number of zones per polygon perimeter - this requires mixed unstructured mesh); an error will be displayed in this case.
