Algorithm (Workflow)

The function pdeplotfaces is designed to plot the surfaces of a PDE model to facilitate selection. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 4.0.

Input Parameters

model: This is the PDE model that you want to visualize. It is expected to be a valid PDE model object that contains the geometry and other relevant data for plotting.

Function Workflow

The function pdeplotfaces performs the following steps:

It calls the pdegplot function with the model as an argument. The pdegplot function is used to plot the geometry of the PDE model.
The option 'Facelabel','on' is passed to pdegplot, which enables the labeling of faces in the plot. This helps in identifying and selecting different surfaces of the model.
The show command is used to display the plot. This command ensures that the plot window is brought to the front and made visible to the user.

Example Usage

An example of how to use the pdeplotfaces function is provided:

SG = SGreadSTL('/Applications/MATLAB_R2017a.app/toolbox/pde/pdedata/BracketWithHole.stl', 1000);
model = pdemodelofSG(SG);
pdeplotfaces(model);

In this example, an STL file is read using SGreadSTL, and a PDE model is created from the solid geometry using pdemodelofSG. The pdeplotfaces function is then called to plot and label the faces of the model.
