Hi Mariette,

Thanks a lot for the help,

 

I want to keep connectivity between the points (edges) as well.

I tried c3t3.triangulatiun().insert() but only the points were inserted and

their connection (edges) are not preserved.

 

I have a mesh c3t3. I have another surface (polyhedron) covering this mesh (with no intersection, good point).

I want to add the covered surface points and its edges as well.

 

I used add feature function but there are many edges to be preserved.

 

I wanted to know if there is another way to insert the surface points with the connectivity?

 

Do you think this is possible if I insert the surface points and then I play over the mesh criteria (in the remesh step)

in order to keep the connections?

Hi Kamal

I am not sure to understand your problem
but still I make an attempt of solution :

you may insert whatever points you want (surface points in particular)
in the triangulation,
using
c3t3.triangulatiun().insert() before launching the meshing process.
These points will be preserved in the final mesh
if you next build the mesh using refine_mesh()

Hi Laurent,

I am looking for an example using the following function,

But before I want to know if this preserves the surface connectivity as well?

c3t3.insert_surface_points(...))

I tried also to add a contour (as a feature) from the respective surface using:

 domain.add_features(polylines.begin(), polylines.end());

this works perfectly but when I added all edges from the surface, I was not successful.

Is there any example for inserting surface points (with connectivity) 

into a volumetric mesh?

Please be more explicit. What do you call a volumetric mesh? The 'c3t3' 

created by the CGAL 3D mesh generator?

What you want is probably quite difficult to implement without knowing a lot of the internal of the CGAL 3D mesh generator.
