Other Methods on Explicit

 

   GRAPE(explicit, "merge-send")()

EXPLICIT * explicit

Additionally to merging all geometries by calling the superclass method (7.4.3.8) all explicit rulers are deactivated -- recomputing an Explicit instance after merging it is not possible.

   GRAPE(explicit, "assign-cons-send")()

EXPLICIT * explicit

This method computes the parameter lines in u- and v-direction for the explicit instance and stores them in the hor and ver instances of the Geom2d instances of the explicit geometry. "assign-cons-send" must be called before "merge-send" or "close-send" because it needs the geometry structure created by "compute-send" to be able to find the correct points for the lines.

If this method was called accidentally and you don't need the parameter lines them you should delete them with "delete-lines-send", this will save a lot of memory and make some methods, especially "merge-send" and "close-send", much faster.

   GRAPE(explicit, "set-task")(task)

EXPLICIT * explicit
TASK_TYPE task

Set the explicit-> task to task. Additional to the superclass method (7.4.3.6) the tskDomain and tskExplicit (which changes the model to the geometry like tskGeometry and corresponds to the EXPLICIT task in the input file) tasks are handled.
