[ Up: Operation Reference ]

The SelectableMeshReader operation is capable of reading any of the mesh formats supported by other operations. The user is able to select which format they are expecting by using the "Format" input.

Default label: "Read mesh model"
Member of plug-in: Mesh
Catalogue path: FileIO/Readers

Inputs:
File name		QString
Format		QString	The expected format of the file pointed to by the "File name" input. If the target file does not match this format, execution will fail.
Mesh model interface	Modified-in-place	CSIRO::Mesh::MeshModelInterface	Specify a custom implementation of MeshModelInterface to use. This can be done using the CreateMeshModelInterface operation.
Number of read attempts to make		int	The reader will attempt to read the file N number of times.
Options		CSIRO::DataExecution::ObjectDictionary	An ObjectDictionary of options that will attempt to be passed to the reader uses. There is no guarantee that the reader will be able to receive all options.
Outputs:
Mesh		CSIRO::Mesh::MeshModelInterface
Object transforms		CSIRO::DataExecution::ObjectArray	Some mesh file formats contain a set of transform matrices, each of which specifies the location, scale and orientation of a related object (usually boundary objects in simulations). This output contains an ObjectArray of all such TransformMatrix objects.
Model info		CSIRO::DataExecution::ObjectDictionary	A DataCollection containing any other model information associated with the model. E.g. the 'time' associated with the model in its simulation context.
