LevelSetMesher

(Source code, png)

class LevelSetMesher(*args)

Creation of mesh from a level set.

Parameters:

discretizationsequence of int

Discretization of the level set bounding box.

solverOptimizationAlgorithm, optional

Optimization solver used to project the vertices onto the level set. It must be able to solve nearest point problems. Default is AbdoRackwitz.

Notes

The meshing algorithm is based on the IntervalMesher class. First, the bounding box of the level set (provided by the user or automatically computed) is meshed. Then, all the simplices with all vertices outside of the level set are rejected, while the simplices with all vertices inside of the level set are kept. The remaining simplices are adapted the following way:

• The mean point of the vertices inside of the level set is computed

• Each vertex outside of the level set is projected onto the level set using a linear interpolation

• If the project flag is True, then the projection is refined using an optimization solver.

Examples

Create a mesh:

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> mesher = ot.LevelSetMesher([5, 10])
>>> level = 1.0
>>> function = ot.SymbolicFunction(['x0', 'x1'], ['x0^2+x1^2'])
>>> levelSet = ot.LevelSet(function, ot.LessOrEqual(), level)
>>> mesh = mesher.build(levelSet, ot.Interval([-2.0]*2, [2.0]*2))
