Cuboid

This feature creates a cuboid represented as mesh composed of tetrahedral elements:

• Direction (required): Users can select between pre-defined directions (X, Y or Z) or a custom direction for the normal to the base of the cuboid rectangle .

• Normal (required): defined the normal vector to the base of the cuboid (only applicable for custom direction).

• Origin (required): reference point that corresponds to the corner defining the local origin of the cuboid.

• Length (required): size of the cuboid along the axis that follows the selected normal direction for the base.

• Width (required): size of the cuboid along the axis that follows the direction for the length.

• Height (required): size of the cuboid along the normal direction of the base.

• Element Size (required): target length of the edges of the tetrahedral elements of the cuboid.
