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 Matrux for this new set of Features, and creates Attribute Arrays for their Ids and number of Triangles.
