static ImportFromMSHFile(fileName)¶

Import mesh from FreeFem 2-d mesh files.

Parameters

MSHFilestr: A MSH ASCII file.

Returns

meshMesh: Mesh defined in the file MSHFile.

Check if a point is inside a simplex and returns its barycentric coordinates.

indexint: Integer characterizes one simplex of the mesh.

Returns

isInsidebool: Flag telling whether point is inside the simplex of index index.
coordinatesPoint: The barycentric coordinates of the given point wrt the vertices of the simplex.

Notes

The tolerance for the check on the barycentric coordinates can be tweaked using the key Mesh-CoordinateEpsilon.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> vertices = [[0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 0.0], [1.0, 1.0]]
>>> simplex = [[0, 1, 2]]
>>> mesh2d = ot.Mesh(vertices, simplex)

>>> print(mesh2d.checkPointInSimplexWithCoordinates(pointB, 0))

computeP1Gram(self)¶

Compute the P1 Lagrange finite element gram matrix of the mesh.

Returns

gramCovarianceMatrix: P1 Lagrange finite element gram matrix of the mesh.

Notes

The P1 Lagrange finite element space associated to a mesh with vertices $(\vect{x}_i)_{i=1,\hdots,n}$ is the space of piecewise-linear functions generated by the functions $(\phi_i)_{i=1,\hdots,n}$ , where $\phi_i(\vect{x_i})=1$ , $\phi_i(\vect{x_j})=0$ for $j\neq i$ and the restriction of $\phi_i$ to any simplex is an affine function. The vertices that are not included into at least one simplex are not taken into account.

The gram matrix of the mesh is defined as the symmetric positive definite matrix $\mat{K}$ whose generic element $K_{i,j}$ is given by:

$\forall i,j=1,\hdots,n,\quad K_{i,j}=\int_{\cD}\phi_i(\vect{x})\phi_j(\vect{x})\di{\vect{x}}$

This method is used in several algorithms related to stochastic process representation such as the Karhunen-Loeve decomposition.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> # Define the vertices of the mesh
>>> vertices = [[0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 0.0], [1.0, 1.0], [1.5, 1.0]]

>>> simplices = [[0, 1, 2], [1, 2, 3]]
