Old development ideas

tkeskita opened this issue · 0 comments

Moved old development ideas here from readme:

  • Don't save Unstructured Grid object in blend file to save disk space
    (mesh is anyways thrown away and regenerated from UG text
    strings)

  • Add Gzip option to OpenFOAM PolyMesh export

  • Split Cells (Edge Division) (e.g. hexahedral cell is split to 8
    cells, tetrahedral cell is split into 4 cells)

  • Dissolve Internal Faces (merge cells)

  • Merge Overlapping Boundary Faces (e.g. to merge two mesh regions)

  • Separate Internal Faces (convert internal face to two boundary faces)

  • Split Cells (Center Slicing) (polyhedron cell face vertices are
    connected to cell center)

  • Show Cells (creates temporary object with faces around
    selected cells)

  • Fix Intersecting Boundaries (move boundary vertices so
    that boundary faces don't intersect each other)

  • Support for OpenFOAM sets?

  • Mesh Quality metrics + operator to select bad cells. Definition of
    bad cells depend on target simulation type, so there would need to
    be several metrics. This would be nice-to-have but not essential,
    since it is possible to use checkMesh utility of OpenFOAM, or
    e.g. Mesh Quality filter in Paraview or e.g.
    BVTKNodes
    to evaluate mesh quality.
