Connected

Ensures all vertices in a mesh are reachable from each other, confirming mesh connectivity.

Parameter table

param	unit	required	description
meshName		no	The name of the mesh to be checked
meshKeyName		no	The key of the name of the mesh to be checked. This will be used if mesName is undefined.

Detailed description

This rule checks that the mesh is fully connected. It ensures that all vertices within a mesh object are reachable from each other, indicating no isolated vertices are present. This check can be crucial for the integrity of mesh data.

How to setup

This rule requires no parameters for its operation. It functions by analyzing the entire mesh to ensure every vertex is part of a unified structure.

Creator tips

Ensure that all parts of your mesh are connected by edges. Avoid creating any isolated vertices or disconnected mesh components. Use mesh analysis tools to verify connectivity before finalizing your model. This will help prevent issues related to mesh connectivity.
