hybridmesh

This module defines the HybridMesh class, a Geometry subclass that supports hybrid discrete geometrical models. A HybridMesh has a single shared set of coordinates and a collection of element connectivities, each represented by an Elems object with its own element type.

It provides functionality to create, manipulate, and analyse hybrid meshes containing mixed element types, such as lines, triangles, quads, and volumes.

Constructor

HybridMesh

A HybridMesh is a discrete geometric model with a single set of coordinates and multiple element connectivity blocks, each potentially of a different type.

Important

The HybridMesh class inherits from Geometry, giving it access to all attributes and methods defined there. In addition, the HybridMesh class provides its own methods, which are listed below.

Mesh information

These methods return information about a HybridMesh object.

HybridMesh.eltypes	Return the element type of each block in the HybridMesh.
HybridMesh.n_coords	Return the number of nodes in the Mesh.
HybridMesh.n_nodes	Return the number of nodes in the Mesh.
HybridMesh.n_points	Return the number of nodes in the Mesh.
HybridMesh.n_elems	Return the total number of elements across all connectivity blocks.
HybridMesh.report	Create a report on the HybridMesh shape.
HybridMesh.level	Return the level (geometric dimension) of the elements in the HybridMesh.

Other

HybridMesh.from_meshes	Create a HybridMesh from a list of Mesh objects.
HybridMesh.to_meshes	Convert the HybridMesh into a list of Mesh objects, one per block.
HybridMesh.border_mesh	Return a HybridMesh representing the border.
