Multi-Region Mesh from Implicit

Converts an Implicit Body to a Mesh using Adaptive Tessellation. This method may significantly reduce computational and memory overhead compared to traditional methods, especially when finer tolerances are required. It achieves this by creating fewer triangles in flatter or less complex regions, resulting in a lower overall triangle count. However, this optimization can lead to a less regular and lower quality mesh in certain areas unless remeshing is enabled.

Inputs

Name	Type	Description
Body	Implicit Body	Implicit body to convert.
Tolerance	Scalar Field	The maximum allowable deviation of the tessellation from the implicit geometry. As this value gets smaller, the resulting mesh will be more precise, but the block will take longer to compute.
Remesh	Bool	Remesh the resulting adapted tessellation for better triangle quality. Note there is a risk of producing self-intersections.
Low face count	Bool	This option reduces tessellation time and produces a lower triangle count along thin walls, small gaps, and high curvature ridges at the same tolerance, but may adversely affect tessellation quality.
Mask	Implicit Body	Mask used to further divide the output into faces.
Feature surfaces	Implicit Body List	Force the mesh to have feature edges.
Max. edge length	Scalar Field	Specifies the largest edge size at each point on the tessellation.
Remesh surf. proj.	Bool	If remeshing is enabled, project vertices to implicit surface. Note: this risks self-intersections if the tolerance is too low.
Remesh sag refine	Scalar	If remeshing is enabled, refines mesh density in high curvature regions and projects vertices to implicit surface to ensure edges are not sagging above or below the implicit surface within a given fraction of input tessellation tolerance. Note: setting this fraction too low where the tessellation tolerance is a poor representation of the implicit geometry risks creating self-intersections and poor quality elements.
Remesh anisotropic	Bool	If remeshing is enabled and Remesh Sag Refine is set less than 1.0, sag refinement produces an anisotropic mesh with triangles elongated along curvature. This reduces triangle count where there is high curvature along ridges while staying within sag tolerance.
Remesh feature align	Bool	If remeshing is enabled and feature surfaces are input, aligns remeshed elements to mesh feature edges.
Component min. size	Scalar	If the output contains more than one disconnected components, setting this input will delete any disconnected component whose bounding box diagonal is smaller than the provided value.
Merge faces	Bool	If enabled, neighboring faces with the same name are merged together into a single face.
Default name	Text	Name applied to any face that doesn’t have a name of its own.
