mkgeo_grid - structured mesh of a parallelepiped (rheolef-7.2)

mkgeo_grid [options] [nx [ny [nz]]]

The following command build a triangular based 2d 10x10 grid of the unit square:



    mkgeo_grid -t 10 > square-10.geo


    geo square-10.geo


or in one command line:



    mkgeo_grid -t 10 | geo -

This command is useful when testing programs on simple geometries. It avoid the preparation of an input file for a mesh generator. The optional nx, ny and nz arguments are integer that specifies the subdivision in each direction. By default nx=10, ny=nx and nz=ny. The mesh files goes on standard output.

The command supports all the possible element types: edges, triangles, rectangles, tetrahedra, prisms and hexahedra.

-e


1d mesh using edges.

-t


2d mesh using triangles.

-q


2d mesh using quadrangles (rectangles).

-T


3d mesh using tetrahedra.

-P


3d mesh using prisms.

-H


3d mesh using hexahedra.

-a float
-b float
-c float
-d float
-f float
-g float


The geometry can be any [a,b] segment, [a,b]x[c,d] rectangle or [a,b]x[c,d]x[f,g] parallelepiped. By default a=c=f=0 and b=d=g=1, thus, the unit boxes are considered.

For instance, the following command meshes the [-2,2]x[-1.5, 1.5] rectangle:



    mkgeo_grid -t 10 -a -2 -b 2 -c -1.5 -d 1.5 | geo -

-[no]sides


The boundary sides are represented by domains: left, right, top, bottom, front and back.

-[no]boundary


This option defines a domain named boundary that groups all sides.

By default, both sides and the whole boundary are defined as domains:



    mkgeo_grid -t 10 -nosides | geo -


    mkgeo_grid -t 10 -noboundary | geo -


    mkgeo_grid -t 10 -noboundary -nosides | geo -

-[no]region


The whole domain is split into two subdomains: east and west. Also, the separating domain is named interface in the mesh. This option is used for testing computations with subdomains (e.g. transmission problem; see usersguide ).

Example:



    mkgeo_grid -t 10 -region | geo -

-[no]corner


The corners (four in 2D and eight in 3D) are defined as OD-domains. This could be useful for some special boundary conditions.

Example:



    mkgeo_grid -t 10 -corner | geo -


    mkgeo_grid -T  5 -corner | geo -

-cartesian
-rz
-zr


Specifies the coordinate system. The default is cartesian while -rz and -zr denotes some axisymmetric coordinate systems. Recall that most of Rheolef codes are coordinate-system independent and the coordinate system is specified in the geometry file .geo.
