Introduced first in SolidGeometry 4.2, Creation date: 2018-03-06, Last change: 2025-09-14

returns a surface model without edge points and surface points that are inside of a surface

Description

Calls function as SGremsurfedgepoints. This function is useful if a tetrahedron model (pde mesh) is converted into a surface model, or a solid is bent somehow. Afterwards there a surfaces that consist of many vertices that are in the same plane. This function analyses the surface and retesselate all surface based only on the boundary vertices.

Syntax

[VLN,FLN,FLNorg,FSi]=VLFLremsurfedgepoints(VL,FL,[alpha,minf])

Input Parameter

VL: Vertex list of surface model
FL: Facet list of surface model
alpha: alpha angle for feature surface; default is 0.01
minf: minimum facets per face; default is 4

Output Parameter

VLN: New vertex list surface model with reduced vertices
FLN: New facet list surface model with reduced vertices
FLNorg: Reduced Facet list based on the original vertex list
FSi: Feature surface index list

Examples
