Should the user desire more control over the mesh tetrahedralization or wish to control the tetrahedralization in a more pythonic manner, use the optional inputs rather than inputting switches. Parameters ---------- facet_overlap_ang_tol : double, optional Threshold angle at which TetGen will consider to faces overlapping. Raising this will require a higher quality mesh input and may cause tetrahedralize to fail. Default 0.001. quality : bool, optional Enables/disables mesh improvement. Enabled by default. Disable this to speed up mesh generation while sacrificing quality. Default True. minratio : double, optional. Maximum allowable radius-edge ratio. Must be greater than 1.0 the closer to 1.0, the higher the quality of the mesh. Be sure to raise steinerleft to allow for the addition of points to improve the quality of the mesh. Avoid overly restrictive requirements, otherwise, meshing will appear to hang. Default 2.0 Testing has showed that 1.1 is a reasonable input for a high quality mesh. mindihedral : double, optional Minimum allowable dihedral angle. The larger this number, the higher the quality of the resulting mesh. Be sure to raise steinerleft to allow for the addition of points to improve the quality of the mesh. Avoid overly restrictive requirements, otherwise, meshing will appear to hang. Default 0.0 Testing has shown that 10 is a reasonable input verbose : int, optional Controls the underlying TetGen library to output text to console. Users using iPython will not see this output. Setting to 1 enables some information about the mesh generation while setting verbose to 2 enables more debug output. Default 0, or no output. nobisect : bool, optional Controls if Steiner points are added to the input surface mesh. When enabled, the surface mesh will be modified. Default False. Testing has shown that if your input surface mesh is already well shaped, disabling this setting will improve meshing speed and mesh quality. steinerleft : int, optional Steiner points are points added to the original surface mesh to create a valid tetrahedral mesh. Settings this to -1 will allow tetgen to create an unlimited number of steiner points, but the program will likely hang if this is used in combination with narrow quality requirements. Default 100000. The first type of Steiner points are used in creating an initial tetrahedralization of PLC. These Steiner points are mandatory in order to create a valid tetrahedralization The second type of Steiner points are used in creating quality tetra- hedral meshes of PLCs. These Steiner points are optional, while they may be necessary in order to improve the mesh quality or to conform the size of mesh elements. double : optmaxdihedral, optional Setting unreachable using switches. Controls the optimial maximum dihedral. Settings closer, but not exceeding, 180 degrees results in a lower quality mesh. Should be between 135 and 180 degrees. Default 165.0 order : int optional Controls whether TetGen creates linear tetrahedrals or quadradic tetrahedrals. Set order to 2 to output quadradic tetrahedrals. Default 2.
