Synopsis

SetMeshDataCacheType(cachetype)

Details

  • Base class: MeshModification
  • Parameters:

    cachetype

Description

SetMeshDataCacheType determines whether the time data stored with a Mesh is kept in memory or in temporary files on disk. Storing the data in memory is faster, as long as there is enough RAM. When switching from one cache type to the other, the data in the cache is preserved.

SetMeshDataCacheType is a MeshModification that is applied to a Mesh with the OOF.Mesh.Modify command. In the GUI, MeshModifications are applied by the Mesh Operations pane in the FEMesh page.
