- inputInput mesh to convert to all-simplex mesh
C++ Type:MeshGeneratorName
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:Input mesh to convert to all-simplex mesh
ElementsToSimplicesConverter
Splits all non-simplex elements in a mesh into simplices.
An input mesh, as specified in the "input" parameter, will be modified to replace each non-simplex mesh element with a set of simplices connecting the same nodes. Each quad is split into 2 triangles, each pyramid into 2 tetrahedra, each prism into 3 tets, and each cube into 6 tets.
The input mesh must be "flat", not hierarchically refined.
The algorithm in 2D splits quads along their shortest interior diagonal, to try to improve element quality.
Currently the algorithm in 3D uses node ids to decide on splitting directions in a consistent way across face neighbors; this may change in the future.
In 3D, the geometry of any non-planar quadrilateral faces of cubes and/or prisms will not be exactly preserved, due to the change from bilinear or biquadratic mapping on quadrilaterals to linear or quadratic mapping on the triangles that replace them.
