component.engine.VolumeFromTriangles¶

The VolumeFromTriangles component computes the volume of a given surfacic mesh (triangles or/and quads). In this directory you will find one example showing how to use the component:

Example¶

finger = rootNode.createChild('finger')

# Create the popology
finger.createObject('MeshSTLLoader', name='loader', filename=path+'finger.stl')
finger.createObject('MeshTopology', src='@loader', name="mesh")
finger.createObject('VolumeFromTriangles')

positions	If not set by user, find the context mechanical.
triangles	If not set by user, find the context topology.
quads	If not set by user, find the context topology.

Optional	Description
update	If true, will update the volume with the current positions.

Properties	Description
volume	Read only. Output volume. Only relevant if closed surface.
