Optional argument
A Boolean that determines whether a verbose output is to be printed. The default is True.
Return value
A Float.
Exceptions
This method returns a sequence consisting of the face IDs of the faces which bound the cell.
Arguments
Return value
A tuple of integers.
Exceptions
This method returns a sequence consisting of the edge IDs of the edges on the cell.
Arguments
Return value
A tuple of integers.
Exceptions
This method returns a sequence consisting of the vertex IDs of the vertices on the cell.
Arguments
Return value
A tuple of integers.
Exceptions
This method returns an array of cell objects that share at least one face of the cell.
Arguments
Return value
A CellArray object which is a sequence of Cell objects.
Exceptions
This method returns an array of node objects that are associated with the cell.
Arguments
Return value
A MeshNodeArray object which is a sequence of MeshNode objects.
Exceptions
This method returns an array of element objects that are associated with the cell.
Arguments
Return value
A MeshElementArray object which is a sequence of MeshElement objects.
Exceptions
The Cell object has the following members:
An Int specifying the index of the cell in the CellArray.
A Boolean specifying whether the cell belongs to the reference representation of the Part or Instance.
A tuple of Floats specifying the X-, Y-, and Z-coordinates of a point located on the cell.
A tuple of Floats specifying the name of the feature that created this cell.
A tuple of Floats specifying the name of the part instance for this cell (if applicable).
