Creation of a regular grid¶
In this first part we demonstrate how to create a regular grid. Note that a regular grid is a particular mesh of .
Here we assume it represents the time as it is often the case, but it can represent any physical quantity.
A regular time grid is a regular discretization of the interval into points, noted .
The time grid can be defined using where is the number of points in the time grid. the time step between two consecutive instants and . Then, and .
Consider a multivariate stochastic process of dimension , where , and is interpreted as a time stamp. Then the mesh associated to the process is a (regular) time grid.
We define a time grid from a starting time tMin, a time step tStep and a number of time steps n.
tMin = 0.0
tStep = 0.1
n = 10
time_grid = ot.RegularGrid(tMin, tStep, n)
We get the first and the last instants, the step and the number of points :
start = time_grid.getStart()
step = time_grid.getStep()
grid_size = time_grid.getN()
end = time_grid.getEnd()
print("start=", start, "step=", step, "grid_size=", grid_size, "end=", end)
start= 0.0 step= 0.1 grid_size= 10 end= 1.0
We draw the grid.
time_grid.setName("time")
graph = time_grid.draw()
graph.setTitle("Time grid")
graph.setXTitle("t")
graph.setYTitle("")
view = viewer.View(graph)
Creation of a mesh¶
In this paragraph we create a mesh associated to a domain .
A mesh is defined from vertices in and a topology that connects the vertices: the simplices. The simplex relies the vertices of index in . In dimension 1, a simplex is an interval ; in dimension 2, it is a triangle .
The library enables to easily create a mesh which is a box of dimension or regularly meshed in all its directions, thanks to the object IntervalMesher.
Consider a multivariate stochastic process of dimension , where . The mesh is a discretization of the domain .
A one dimensional mesh is created and represented by :
vertices = [[0.5], [1.5], [2.1], [2.7]]
simplicies = [[0, 1], [1, 2], [2, 3]]
mesh1D = ot.Mesh(vertices, simplicies)
graph1 = mesh1D.draw()
graph1.setTitle("One dimensional mesh")
view = viewer.View(graph1)
We define a bidimensional mesh :
vertices = [[0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 0.0], [1.0, 1.0], [1.5, 1.0], [2.0, 1.5], [0.5, 1.5]]
simplicies = [[0, 1, 2], [1, 2, 3], [2, 3, 4], [2, 4, 5], [0, 2, 5]]
mesh2D = ot.Mesh(vertices, simplicies)
graph2 = mesh2D.draw()
graph2.setTitle("Bidimensional mesh")
graph2.setLegendPosition("lower right")
view = viewer.View(graph2)
We can also define a mesh which is a regularly meshed box in dimension 1 or 2. We define the number of intervals in each direction of the box :
myIndices = [5, 10]
myMesher = ot.IntervalMesher(myIndices)
We then create the mesh of the box :
lowerBound = [0.0, 0.0]
upperBound = [2.0, 4.0]
myInterval = ot.Interval(lowerBound, upperBound)
myMeshBox = myMesher.build(myInterval)
mygraph3 = myMeshBox.draw()
mygraph3.setTitle("Bidimensional mesh on a box")
view = viewer.View(mygraph3)
It is possible to perform a transformation on a regularly meshed box.
myIndices = [20, 20]
mesher = ot.IntervalMesher(myIndices)
# r in [1., 2.] and theta in (0., pi]
lowerBound2 = [1.0, 0.0]
upperBound2 = [2.0, m.pi]
myInterval = ot.Interval(lowerBound2, upperBound2)
meshBox2 = mesher.build(myInterval)
We define the mapping function and draw the transformation :
f = ot.SymbolicFunction(["r", "theta"], ["r*cos(theta)", "r*sin(theta)"])
oldVertices = meshBox2.getVertices()
newVertices = f(oldVertices)
meshBox2.setVertices(newVertices)
graphMappedBox = meshBox2.draw()
graphMappedBox.setTitle("Mapped box mesh")
view = viewer.View(graphMappedBox)
Finally we create a mesh of a heart in dimension 2.
def meshHeart(ntheta, nr):
# First, build the nodes
nodes = ot.Sample(0, 2)
nodes.add([0.0, 0.0])
for j in range(ntheta):
theta = (m.pi * j) / ntheta
if abs(theta - 0.5 * m.pi) < 1e-10:
rho = 2.0
elif (abs(theta) < 1e-10) or (abs(theta - m.pi) < 1e-10):
rho = 0.0
else:
absTanTheta = abs(m.tan(theta))
rho = absTanTheta ** (1.0 / absTanTheta) + m.sin(theta)
cosTheta = m.cos(theta)
sinTheta = m.sin(theta)
for k in range(nr):
tau = (k + 1.0) / nr
r = rho * tau
nodes.add([r * cosTheta, r * sinTheta - tau])
# Second, build the triangles
triangles = []
# First heart
for j in range(ntheta):
triangles.append([0, 1 + j * nr, 1 + ((j + 1) % ntheta) * nr])
# Other hearts
for j in range(ntheta):
for k in range(nr - 1):
i0 = k + 1 + j * nr
i1 = k + 2 + j * nr
i2 = k + 2 + ((j + 1) % ntheta) * nr
i3 = k + 1 + ((j + 1) % ntheta) * nr
triangles.append([i0, i1, i2 % (nr * ntheta)])
triangles.append([i0, i2, i3 % (nr * ntheta)])
return ot.Mesh(nodes, triangles)
mesh4 = meshHeart(48, 16)
graphMesh = mesh4.draw()
graphMesh.setTitle("Bidimensional mesh")
graphMesh.setLegendPosition("")
view = viewer.View(graphMesh)
