mymesh.converter.quad82tri6

mymesh.converter.quad82tri6(NodeCoords, NodeConn)

Converts a quadratic quadrilateral mesh to a quadratic triangular mesh by splitting each quad into 2 tris

Parameters:

• NodeCoords (array_like) – List of nodal coordinates.

• NodeConn (array_like) – Nodal connectivity list. All elements should be 8-Node quadrilateral elements.

Returns:

• NewCoords (np.ndarray) – Updated list of node coordinates. A new node is created at the center of the quadrilateral.

• TriConn (np.ndarray) – list of nodal connectivities for the new triangular mesh.
