pw:: ExtrusionSolver

$entity get/setKeepFailingStep keep

This attribute is the flag for whether the failing step of extrusion should be kept.

Type

boolean

Default

false

$solver run ?-entities ents? ?Restart | steps?

This action runs the extrusion solver.

Parameters

Returns

This action returns nothing.

Information

This command supports progress updates.  Unlike most commands that support progress updates, if the user aborts this command, instead of reverting to the previous state the entities being solved will be left as is.

Example

Code

$solver run           ;# extrude 1 step
$solver run 5         ;# extrude 5 steps
$solver run Restart   ;# clear all extrusion steps
$solver run Restart 9 ;# INVALID

$solver getRunResult

This action gets the result of the last extrusion solver run.

Parameters

This action has no parameters.

Returns

This action returns a list of solver status and the number of cells failing the stop crieteria.  Solver status is one of the following strings:

$solver getStopConditionData index

This action gets the stop criteria data of the last run at the given index.

Parameters

Returns

This action returns a list of results containing the name of entity containing criteria failure, the IJK index or prism cell number of criteria failure, the type of failure, the cell criteria value, and a list of cell vertex coordinates.  The failure type is one of the following strings:

$solver getInitialResidual

This action gets the initial (requested) residual of the last step run.

Parameters

This action has no parameters.

Returns

This action returns the float initial residual at the current step.

$solver getMaximumResidual

This action gets the maximum residual of the last step run.

Parameters

This action has no parameters.

Returns

$solver getMinimumJacobian

This action gets the minimum Jacobian of the last step run.

Parameters

This action has no parameters.

Returns

This action returns the float minimum Jacobian at the current step.

$solver getMaximumAspectRatio

This action gets the maximum aspect ratio of the last step run.

Parameters

This action has no parameters.

Returns

This action returns the float maximum aspect ratio at the current step.

$solver getMinimumSkewAngle

This action gets the minimum skew angle of the last step run.

Parameters

This action has no parameters.

Returns

This action returns the float minimum skew angle at the current step.

$solver getStepHeight

This action gets the height of the last step run.

Parameters

This action has no parameters.

Returns

This action returns the float height at the current step.
