Introduction:

A simplicial mesh is given by its vertices array q and its connectivity array me. For demonstration purpose, some simplicial meshes are given in this package and stored in the fc_meshtools/data directory. They can be load by using the functions getMesh2D, getMesh3D or getMesh3Ds of the fc_meshtools.simplicial module. Here are the kind of simplicial meshes present in this package:

• a triangular mesh in dimension 2, made with 2-simplices (ie. triangles),

• a tetrahedral mesh in dimension 3, made with 3-simplices (ie. tetrahedron),

• a triangular mesh in dimension 3 (surface mesh), made with 2-simplices,

• a line mesh in dimension 2 or 3 made with 1-simplices (ie. lines).

One can go to the dedicated web page fc-meshtools for more informations.

Installation:

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

pip install fc_meshtools

Examples

import fc_meshtools
q,me,toG=fc_meshtools.simplicial.getMesh2D(2)
vols=fc_meshtools.simplicial.Volumes(q,me)
print(' q:%s, me:%s, vols:%s'%(str(q.shape),str(me.shape),str(vols.shape)))
