Detailed Description

The CubitInterface provides a Python/C++ interface into Cubit.

It provides an object oriented structure that allows a developer to manipulate objects familiar to Cubit such as bodies, volumes, surfaces, etc. It also allows developers to create and manipulate as well as query geometry.

/brief Finds the 'n' largest distances between two meshes. These distances are from the nodes on the entities of 'ids1' to the elements in 'ids2'. Only triangle and face (quads) element types are supported. It is assumed that the meshes approximately line up.
Each distance is returned with three values:

1. The distance between a node and element.
2. The node id.
3. The element id. The output is given in a vector of three doubles for each distance. So if the user asked for the three largest distances, the vector would contain the 9 doubles, with the distances in descending order. /return vector of distance, node id, element id, distance nod id, element id, ...

set_max_group_id()

void CubitInterface::set_max_group_id

(

int

maximum_group_id

)

Reset Cubit's max group id This is really dangerous to use and exists only to overcome a limitation with Cubit. Cubit keeps track of the next group id to assign. But those ids just keep incrementing in Cubit. Some of the power tools in the Cubit GUI make groups 'under the covers' for various operations. The groups are immediately deleted. But, creating those groups will cause Cubit's group id to increase and downstream journal files may be messed up because those journal files are expecting a certain ID to be available.

When using this call the user must ensure the group max_group_id is under their control. Typically, a user will create a group, use it, then immediately delete it. This call will only work if the max_group_id is the same as Cubit's max group id. If it is Cubit's max id will be reset. If not, nothing will happen.

Parameters

max_id

ID of group to make 'max'
