HexMeshCylinders 0.0.1

Creates structured hexahedral meshes for volumes with cylindrical symmetry

HexMeshCylinders generates hexagonal meshes for OpenFOAM. It is restricted to volumes with radial-rotational symmetry, i.e. solids that can be described as a "stack" of cylinders (see examples bellow).

One to two paragraph statement about your product and what it does.

Installation

OS X & Linux:

npm install my-crazy-module --save

Windows:

edit autoexec.bat

Usage example

The following example generates the mesh shown in the image bellow. For more demos, please refer to the examples folder.

from HexMeshCylinders import Cylinder, Stack

# Cylinder.cell_edge defines the x and y dimensions for all the cells in the mesh
Cylinder.cell_edge = 1E-3  # 1 milimeter

# The volume will be made of two cylinders,
cylinders = [
    Cylinder(diameter=51, height=100E-3, n_layers=100),  # this one with 51 cells on its diameter,
    Cylinder(diameter=21, height= 50E-3, n_layers= 20),  # and this one with a diameter of 21 cells.
]

stack = Stack(cylinders, verbose=True)
stack.export('/tmp/HexMeshCylinders/basic')

Development setup

Describe how to install all development dependencies and how to run an automated test-suite of some kind. Potentially do this for multiple platforms.

make install
npm test
