PUBLIC METHOD SUMMARY

vzUnstructuredHexaMesh (

vzVertexArray* vertices, vzIndexArray* indices);

PROTECTED METHOD SUMMARY

);

CLASS DESCRIPTION

vzUnstructuredHexaMesh represents indexed sets of hexahedra. Each hexahedron is represented by 8 indices which point to a list of vertex coordinates. Note: To represent structured hexahedral meshes, use vzStructuredHexaMesh, since the connectivity information is implicit in structured meshes.

METHOD DESCRIPTIONS

   vzUnstructuredHexaMesh()

vzUnstructuredHexaMesh (

vzVertexArray* vertices, vzIndexArray* indices);

Constructor for indexed tetra sets. Does not allocate any memory for vertex or index data. Each consecutive set of eight indices provides a single hexahedron. Use vzUnstructuredMesh::setIndexArray() and vzUnstructuredMesh::setVertexArray() to change the index and vertex array pointers after initialization.

   ~vzUnstructuredHexaMesh()

virtual ~vzUnstructuredHexaMesh (

);

Destructor for indexed hexa sets.

   tessellate()

vzUnstructuredTetraMesh* tessellate (

) const;

A method to perform a simplicial decomposition of the given geometry data. Tessellates the geometry into a tetrahedral mesh and returns a pointer to vzUnstructuredTetraMesh.
