My question is related to this_issue.
I’m using Cubit 2024, not configured with python. I’d like to draw a different mesh quality histogram in numbers of discrete color, and the range of colors. Can I export the mesh quality, say volumes, of all elements to a file so I can plot a histogram myself?
Hi @WayneYY,
cubit already got python included.
You can switch between cubit and python mode in the command line with
#!cubit
#!python
or with the buttons
You can get access to the quality info from the elements through the python api.
Here a example using the get_quality_value() method.
#!cubit
reset
create sphere radius 0.5
vol 1 size auto factor 9
mesh vol all
#!python
hex_ids = cubit.parse_cubit_list("hex","all in vol 1")
quality_values = []
for id in hex_ids:
quality_value = cubit.get_quality_value("hex",id,"scaled jacobian")
quality_values.append(quality_value)
print(f"hex id {id} quality {quality_value}")
#!cubit
quality volume 1 scaled jacobian global draw mesh
Thank you Hofbauer 
My color bar changed. Is the ‘global’ here doing the work?
The global keyword is used to define the scope of the quality summary output
