meshio 1.11.19

I/O for various mesh formats

meshio

There are various mesh formats available for representing unstructured meshes, e.g.,

• ANSYS msh
• DOLFIN XML
• Exodus
• H5M
• Medit
• MED/Salome
• Gmsh
• OFF
• PERMAS
• STL
• VTK
• VTU
• XDMF

meshio can read and write all of these formats and smoothly converts between them. Simply call

meshio-convert input.msh output.vtu

with any of the supported formats.

In Python, simply call

points, cells, point_data, cell_data, field_data = \
    meshio.read(args.infile)

to read a mesh. To write, do

points = numpy.array([
    [0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
    [0.0, 1.0, 0.0],
    [0.0, 0.0, 1.0],
    ])
cells = {
    'triangle': numpy.array([
        [0, 1, 2]
        ])
    }
meshio.write(
    'foo.vtk',
    points,
    cells,
    # Optionally provide extra data on points, cells, etc.
    # point_data=point_data,
    # cell_data=cell_data,
    # field_data=field_data
    )

For both input and output, you can optionally specify the exact file_format (in case you would like to enforce binary over ASCII VTK, for example).
