8.44. Generate Triangle Face Ids
Group (Subgroup)
Surface Meshing (Connectivity/Arrangement)
Description
This Filter assigns a unique Id to each Triangle in a Triangle Geometry that represents the unique boundary on which that Triangle resides. For example, if there were only two Features that shared one boundary, then the Triangles on that boundary would be labeled with a single unique Id. This procedure creates unique groups of Triangles, which themselves are a set of Features. Thus, this Filter also creates a Feature Attribute Matrix for this new set of Features, and creates Attribute Arrays for their Ids and number of Triangles. This process can be considered a segmentation where each unique id is the shared boundary between two features.
Because the algorithm is essentially segmenting the triangles based on the unique combination of face labels, the filter will also generate a Feature level Attribute Matrix and place two additional DataArrays into that feature attribute matrix that store the following information:
The number of triangles in each unique boundary
The pair of Face Label values that made up the unique boundary.
