Segment

automesh segment --help
Creates a segmentation or voxelized mesh from an existing mesh

Usage: automesh segment [OPTIONS] --input <FILE> --output <FILE> --size <NUM>

Options:
  -i, --input <FILE>    Mesh input file (exo | inp | stl | vtu)
  -o, --output <FILE>   Segmentation (npy | spn | vti) or mesh (exo | inp | mesh | vtu) output file
  -g, --grid <NUM>      Grid length for sampling within each element (currently unused) [default: 1]
  -s, --size <NUM>      Element size which is the side length
  -r, --remove <ID>...  Block IDs to remove from the segmentation
      --log <FILE>      Mirror terminal output to a log file
  -q, --quiet           Pass to quiet the terminal output
  -h, --help            Print help

Sample Points

The input mesh is queried for its material composition for

• --grid 1: at a single discrete sample point located at the center of a voxel,
• --grid 2: at eight discrete sample points located in a 2x2x2 arrangement within subdivided cells of the voxel,
• --grid 3: at 27 discrete sample points located within a 3x3x3 arrangement within subdivided cells of the voxel,
• and so on.

The --grid and --size options are illustrated below for three successive grid sizes:
