Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
PolygonalMesh	getSurfaceMesh() Returns the surface mesh associated with this component, or null if no mesh exists.
PolygonalMesh[]	getSurfaceMeshes() Returns an array listing all the (non-null) surface meshes associated with this component, or a zero-length array if there are none.
int	numSurfaceMeshes() Returns the number of surfaces meshes associated with this component, or 0 if no meshes exist.

Method Detail

getSurfaceMesh

PolygonalMesh getSurfaceMesh()

Returns the surface mesh associated with this component, or null if no mesh exists. If multiple surface meshes exist, this should be first one in the array returned by getSurfaceMeshes().

Returns:

component's (primary) surface mesh

numSurfaceMeshes

int numSurfaceMeshes()

Returns the number of surfaces meshes associated with this component, or 0 if no meshes exist. If getSurfaceMesh() returns null, then this method should return 0.

Returns:

number of surface meshes associated with this component

getSurfaceMeshes

PolygonalMesh[] getSurfaceMeshes()

Returns an array listing all the (non-null) surface meshes associated with this component, or a zero-length array if there are none. If getSurfaceMesh() returns null, then a zero-length array should be returned.

Returns:

surface meshes associated with this component
