mesh.Mesh.generate_triangle_mesh

Mesh.generate_triangle_mesh()

Generate a triangular surface mesh inside a closed line2 mesh.

The current mesh must be a closed, unbranched line2 loop. The input mesh defines the boundary of the resulting triangle mesh, and will determine the mesh element size.

Returns

Mesh

Triangle surface mesh (tri3) filling the area inside this mesh.

Examples

Boundary preservation:

>>> cir = shapes.circle(div=8)
>>> tri = cir.generate_triangle_mesh()
>>> tri.eltype.lname
'tri3'
>>> print(tri.border_mesh().n_elems())
8
