DEFINITION
FLWNET specifies the built-in flow-net geometry of an object.
REMARKS
FLWNET will be generated by GUI Preprocessor specifying the offset amount from current surface mesh. It’ll provide very useful information like predicting lap, typically when the lap cannot be observed by mesh alone. FLWNET information is described by a list of points and the connectivity of those points by three or four node polygons. Gtype will be set to 1 always, which is Polygon description. Npoints is the number of points in the list which are used in the objects definition. This is followed by a list of 1 to Npoints of X, Y, and Z coordinates for each point. Npoly is the number of polygons which make up the object’s geometry. Following the listing of points is a listing of all polygons defining the object’s surface. For three node polygons, the Point4(i) will be a repeat of Point1(i). The format of FLWNET is compatible with FLWNET format. Applicable object types: Plastic, Elastoplastic, Porous.
