fc-hypermesh 0.0.8

Generate conforming meshes of any d-orthotopes by simplices or orthotopes with their m-faces

The fc_hypermesh Python package allows to mesh any d-orthotopes (hyperrectangle in dimension d) and their m-faces by simplices or orthotopes

This implements Vectorized algorithms for regular tessellations of d-orthotopes and their faces (Cuvelier F. and Scarella G., 2016)

Documentation is available here

Installation:

The fc_hypermesh Python package is available from the Python Package Index, so to install/upgrade simply type

pip3 install fc_hypermesh -U

Examples usage:

• Meshing the rectangle [-1,1]x[0,1] by simplices with 12+1 points in x-axis and 5+1 points in y-axis:

  from fc_hypermesh import OrthMesh
  oTh=OrthMesh(2,[12,5],type='simplicial',box=[[-1,1],[0,1]])
  print(oTh)
  

  The output of the print(oTh) command is:

  OrthMesh object
        d : 2
    Mesh  :  EltMesh object
      type (str): simplicial
      type : 0
        d : 2
        m : 2
        q : (2,78)
        me : (3,120)
  
  Number of 1-faces : 4
    [ 0] (type,nq,nme) : (simplicial,6,5)
    [ 1] (type,nq,nme) : (simplicial,6,5)
    [ 2] (type,nq,nme) : (simplicial,13,12)
    [ 3] (type,nq,nme) : (simplicial,13,12)
  Number of 0-faces : 4
    [ 0] (type,nq,nme) : (simplicial,1,1)
    [ 1] (type,nq,nme) : (simplicial,1,1)
    [ 2] (type,nq,nme) : (simplicial,1,1)
    [ 3] (type,nq,nme) : (simplicial,1,1)
  

  If matplotlib package is installed one can represent the mesh

  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  plt.ion()
  plt.figure(1)
  oTh.plotmesh(legend=True)
  plt.figure(2)
  oTh.plotmesh(m=1,legend=True,linewidth=3)
  plt.axis('off')
  

  
  

• Meshing the rectangular cuboid [-1,1]x[0,1]x[0,2] by simplices with 11+1 points in x-axis, 5+1 points in y-axis and 10+1 points in z-axis:

  from fc_hypermesh import OrthMesh
  oTh=OrthMesh(3,[10,5,10],box=[[-1,1],[0,1],[0,2]])
  

  If matplotlib package is installed one can represent the mesh

  from fc_tools.graphics import set_axes_equal
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  plt.ion()
  plt.figure(1)
  oTh.plotmesh(legend=True,linewidth=0.5)
  set_axes_equal()
  plt.figure(2)
  oTh.plotmesh(m=2,legend=True,edgecolor=[0,0,0])
  plt.axis('off')
  set_axes_equal()
  

  
  

• Meshing the rectangle [-1,1]x[0,1] by orthotopes with 12+1 points in x-axis, 5+1 points in y-axis and 10+1 points in z-axis:

  from fc_hypermesh import OrthMesh
  oTh=OrthMesh(2,[12,5],type='orthotope',box=[[-1,1],[0,1]])
  

  If matplotlib package is installed one can represent the mesh

  from fc_tools.graphics import set_axes_equal
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  plt.ion()
  plt.figure(1)
  oTh.plotmesh(legend=True)
  set_axes_equal()
  plt.figure(2)
  oTh.plotmesh(m=1,legend=True,linewidth=3)
  plt.axis('off')
  set_axes_equal()

  from fc_hypermesh import OrthMesh
  oTh=OrthMesh(3,[10,5,10],type='orthotope', box=[[-1,1],[0,1],[0,2]])

  plt.figure(2)
  oTh.plotmesh(m=2,legend=True,edgecolor=[0,0,0])
  plt.axis('off')
  set_axes_equal()
  

  
  

Testing :

There are seven demos functions in the fc_hypermesh package named demo01 to demo07. The source code is in module demos.py. For example, run the following code under Python:

import fc_hypermesh
fc_hypermesh.demo01()
