mesh.Mesh.remesh_to_quad#

Mesh.remesh_to_quad(n_points=-1, crease_angle=30.0, smooth_iterations=2)#

Remesh a triangle surface Mesh into a quad surface Mesh.

Parameters#

n_pointsint, optional: The approximate target number of vertices in the output mesh. If negative (default), it is set to the number of vertices in the input Mesh.
crease_anglefloat, optional: Crease angle in degrees used to preserve sharp features. Lower values preserve more sharp edges.
smooth_iterint, optional: Number of smoothing iterations applied to the output mesh.

Important

The resulting quad mesh may contain holes. For open surface meshes (i.e., meshes with borders), the boundary of the resulting quad mesh may not be fully aligned with the original boundary. The remeshing algorithm is not deterministic, so re-running it with the same parameters may produce slightly different results. It is strongly recommended to visually inspect the result.

Returns#

Mesh: Returns a quad surface Mesh (quad4).

Examples#

>>> cube = shapes.cuboid(div=10, eltype="tri3")
>>> quad_cube = cube.remesh_to_quad(n_points=1000)
>>> print(quad_cube.eltype)
Quad4
