getMeshSurface()

MeshLib::Mesh * MeshToolsLib::MeshSurfaceExtraction::getMeshSurface ( const MeshLib::Mesh & subsfc_mesh, Eigen::Vector3d const & dir, double angle, std::string_view subsfc_node_id_prop_name = "", std::string_view subsfc_element_id_prop_name = "", std::string_view face_id_prop_name = "" )

static

Returns the 2d-element mesh representing the surface of the given mesh.

Parameters

subsfc_mesh	The original mesh
dir	The direction in which face normals have to point to be considered surface elements
angle	The angle of the allowed deviation from the given direction (0 <= angle <= 90 degrees)
subsfc_node_id_prop_name	The name of the PropertyVector in the surface mesh the subsurface mesh node ids are stored to. If the string is empty, there won't be such a PropertyVector.
subsfc_element_id_prop_name	The name of the PropertyVector in the surface mesh that stores the subsurface element ids. If the string is empty, there won't be such a PropertyVector.
face_id_prop_name	The name of the PropertyVector in the surface mesh that stores the face number of the subsurface element that belongs to the boundary. If the string is empty, there won't be such a PropertyVector.

Returns

A 2D mesh representing the surface in direction dir
