Question about triangle mesh

in-woo

I have a question about triangle mesh information.

md.mesh part consisted of several components and I wanted to check information about nodes number consisting each triangle.

How can I get an information about each triangle comprised of nodes and the order number of triangle?

What is the meaning of md.mesh.elementconnectivity?

Hi In-Woo,

All the information regarding the mesh is located in md.mesh. md.mesh.elements contains the information about which nodes are included in the elements. The size of md.mesh.elements is the number of elements in the model, and line 'i' consists of the 3 (or 6 in 3d) vertices of the element 'i'.

Line 'i' of md.mesh.elementconnectivity lists the elements directly connected to element 'i'. There are zeros when no elements are connected (for example on the edges).

Thanks,

Helene
