mesh-generator 1.1.12

Python subroutines to create a 1D mesh in Python.

This is a collection of Python subroutines and examples that illustrate how to build a 1D Mesh with custom mesh spacing. The meshes created in the package can be used for variety of applications, including physical simulation.

Installation

pip install mesh-generator

Dependencies

python >= 3.5.0 
numpy >= 1.15.2

Usage

This an example for creating a 1D theta mesh. Read the comments inside the python scripts for more details.

• Step 1 : Input mesh requirements. Make sure to specify:

  Mesh:

  • Set lower_bnd and upper_bnd limits of mesh.

  • Set periodic.

  • Set DEFAULT_BG_REGION_RATIO - Ratio in areas without ds constraint. (Optional)

  • Set DEFAULT_FG_REGION_RATIO - Ratio in areas with ds constraint. (Optional)

  Mesh segment:

  • Set s0 and s1 for segment domain limits.

  • Set ds to the resolution you want.

  • Set var_ds_ratio as segment maximum cell to cell mesh expansion ratio. (Optional)

from mesh_generator import Mesh
from mesh_generator import MeshSegment
from mesh_generator.bin.call_psi_mesh_tool import create_psi_mesh
import numpy 

# ratio in regions you do not care about. (Default is 1.06)
MeshSegment.DEFAULT_BG_REGION_RATIO = 1.06 

# ratio in regions you do care about. (Default is 1.03) 
MeshSegment.DEFAULT_FG_REGION_RATIO = 1.03  

# mesh boundaries and if periodic. 
mesh = Mesh(lower_bnd=0.00, upper_bnd=numpy.pi, periodic=False) 

# Mesh segment requirements:
# s0 - segment begin, s1- segment end, ds- mesh spacing
# (Optional) var_ds_ratio- the maximum ratio between each point in the mesh segment. 
mesh.insert_mesh_segment(MeshSegment(s0=1.10, s1=1.40, ds=0.01, var_ds_ratio=1.05))
mesh.insert_mesh_segment(MeshSegment(s0=1.30, s1=1.90, ds=0.02))
mesh.insert_mesh_segment(MeshSegment(s0=0.40, s1=2.80, ds=0.04, var_ds_ratio=1.02))

• Step 2: Get final mesh and write results.

input_mesh = mesh.json_dict()
adjusted_mesh = mesh.resolve_mesh_segments().json_dict()
legacy_mesh = mesh.build_legacy_mesh().json_dict()
create_psi_mesh(adjusted_mesh, legacy_mesh, mesh_type="t", dir_name=os.getcwd(),
     output_file_name="tmp_mesh_t.dat", mesh_res_file_name="mesh_res_t.dat",
     save_plot=True, show_plot=True, save_plot_path=os.getcwd(), plot_file_name="t_mesh_spacing.png", 
     input_mesh=input_mesh)
