VMTKMESHTETRAHEDRALIZE(1)

📦 version 1.5.0, in ubuntu stonking

🦋 NAME 🦋

okay bestie, meet vmtkmeshtetrahedralize — the vmtk script that goes by the same name as, well, itself. iconic behavior honestly.

vmtkmeshtetrahedralize - vmtk script vmtkmeshtetrahedralize

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the vibe: vmtkmeshtetrahedralize does automatic piping, bestie. It parses options, and it pipes. That's the whole personality. vmtkmeshtetrahedralize parsing options, vmtkmeshtetrahedralize doing its thing, no cap. 💅

And what is its thing, you ask? 🫶

vmtkmeshtetrahedralize : convert the elements of a mesh to linear

that's it. that's the job. converting mesh elements to linear. lowkey simple, highkey essential. ✨

🎀 Input arguments 🎀

these are the things you hand over on the way in. the little gifts. the lore. 🍓

  • -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id, fr fr. it defaults to 0.
  • -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self. no default listed, it's just... you. very main character energy honestly.
  • -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — disable execution and piping. defaults to 0, so your script is on by default, periodt.
  • -i Mesh (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — the input mesh. the actual star of the show. 👑
  • -ifile MeshInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Mesh reader. it's giving "here's where the mesh lives".
  • -tetonly TetrahedraOnly (bool,1); default=0 — toggle suppression of 1D and 2D cells. defaults to 0, so nothing gets suppressed unless you say so. 😭
  • -ofile MeshOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Mesh writer. where the glow-up gets saved. 🌸

💖 Output arguments 💖

and these are what it hands back to you when it's done. the receipts. the after pics. 🫶

  • -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id again. yes bestie, she's listed twice, once going in and once coming out. we don't question it, we respect it. 💀
  • -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self again. same energy, other side of the pipeline. 🌈
  • -o Mesh (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — the output mesh!! the whole point!! your linear-element mesh, gorgeous, iconic, ate. ✨
⭐ real talk: if you're chaining these vmtk scripts together in a pipeline, that -disabled flag and the -id/-handle pair are the plumbing that keeps the whole group chat connected. iykyk. 🧚

and that's the whole page bestie, slay 💅✨
