FillBetweenCurvesGenerator
This FillBetweenCurvesGenerator object is designed to generate a transition layer to connect two boundaries of two input meshes.
Overview
The FillBetweenCurvesGenerator offers similar functionality to FillBetweenPointVectorsGenerator by leveraging FillBetweenPointVectorsTools. Instead of manually inputting the two boundaries "positions_vector_1" and "positions_vector_2", The FillBetweenCurvesGenerator directly takes boundary information from the two input meshes ("input_mesh_1" and "input_mesh_2") that contain the curve meshes consisting of Edge2 elements (e.g., generated by ParsedCurveGenerator). The input meshes can be translated using "mesh_1_shift" and "mesh_2_shift".
Figure 1: A typical example of using FillBetweenCurvesGenerator to connect a logarithmic curve and a circular curve.
All the other meshing options are the same as FillBetweenPointVectorsGenerator.

Input Parameters
- begin_side_boundary_id10000Boundary ID to be assigned to the boundary connecting starting points of the positions_vectors.
Default:10000
C++ Type:short
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
