Description

Displays basic statistics of existing mesh - number of nodes and elements of each type. Particularly, total number of the following features is shown:

Nodes,
Edges,
Faces,
Polygons,
Volumes,
Polyhedrons,

Linear edges,
Linear faces,
Linear volumes,

Quadratic edges,
Quadratic faces,
Quadratic triangles,
Quadratic quadrangles,
Quadratic volumes,
Quadratic hexahedrons,
Quadratic tetrahedrons,
Quadratic prisms,
Quadratic pyramids.

Usage

Create finite element mesh first (using one of the available techniques).
Select the mesh in the Tree view.
Right click on it and choose the Display FEM mesh info option.
To close the FEM Mesh Info window, click OK.

Scripting

# setup some model with a fem mesh to print information from
from femexamples.ccx_cantilever_faceload import setup
setup()
# print the fem mesh information
print(App.ActiveDocument.Mesh.FemMesh)

will output the following result:

>>> print(App.ActiveDocument.Mesh.FemMesh)
