TetGen Analysis Interface Module (AIM)
|
This is the output from executing "tetgen -h" on command line.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| -p | Tetrahedralizes a piecewise linear complex (PLC). |
| -Y | Preserves the input surface mesh (does not modify it). |
| -r | Reconstructs a previously generated mesh. |
| -q | Refines mesh (to improve mesh quality). |
| -R | Mesh coarsening (to reduce the mesh elements). |
| -A | Assigns attributes to tetrahedra in different regions. |
| -a | Applies a maximum tetrahedron volume constraint. |
| -m | Applies a mesh sizing function. |
| -i | Inserts a list of additional points. |
| -O | Specifies the level of mesh optimization. |
| -S | Specifies maximum number of added points. |
| -T | Sets a tolerance for coplanar test (default 1e-8). |
| -X | Suppresses use of exact arithmetic. |
| -M | No merge of coplanar facets or very close vertices. |
| -w | Generates weighted Delaunay (regular) triangulation. |
| -c | Retains the convex hull of the PLC. |
| -d | Detects self-intersections of facets of the PLC. |
| -z | Numbers all output items starting from zero. |
| -f | Outputs all faces to .face file. |
| -e | Outputs all edges to .edge file. |
| -n | Outputs tetrahedra neighbors to .neigh file. |
| -v | Outputs Voronoi diagram to files. |
| -g | Outputs mesh to .mesh file for viewing by Medit. |
| -k | Outputs mesh to .vtk file for viewing by Paraview. |
| -J | No jettison of unused vertices from output .node file. |
| -B | Suppresses output of boundary information. |
| -N | Suppresses output of .node file. |
| -E | Suppresses output of .ele file. |
| -F | Suppresses output of .face and .edge file. |
| -I | Suppresses mesh iteration numbers. |
| -C | Checks the consistency of the final mesh. |
| -Q | Quiet: No terminal output except errors. |
| -V | Verbose: Detailed information, more terminal output. |
| -h | Help: A brief instruction for using TetGen. |
