EliminatePolygons

EliminatePolygons eliminates polygons out of a surface.

EliminatePolygons is available for COVISE version 4.5 and higher. It's available for all supported platforms.

Parameters

This module has no parameters.

Input Ports

Name	Type	Description
requiredPolygons	Polygons	The polygon of which you want to throw polygons out
requiredThrow_away	Polygons	The polygons you want to throw out. Three cases for elimination polygons are supported: one polygon for all one polygon per timestep one polygon per block per timestep

Output Ports

Name	Type	Description
outputPoly_Out	Polygons	Result after elimination.

Examples

Figure: covise/net/examples/ReadTascflowTDI.net

We look at the example map covise/net/examples/ReadTascflowTDI.net concerning the ReadTascflowTDI module. The object in this example consists of one channel and one pipe. The channel has an embedded grid just for computational reasons. Therefore we don`t want to see the surface of the embedded grid. In this example EliminatePolygons gets those polygons from the module ReadTascflowTDI who belong to this added grid. The fist figure shows you the surface before elimination. The pipe is closed. This does not make sense. The second figure shows you the real conditions.
