mymesh.quality.OrthogonalQuality

mymesh.quality.OrthogonalQuality(NodeCoords, NodeConn, verbose=False)

Calculates element orthogonality for each element in the mesh. For all element types, orthogonal quality is calculated as 1-InverseOrthogonalQuality.

Orthogonal quality ranges from 0 to 1, with 1 being the best element quality and 0 being the worst.

This definition of Orthogonal Quality comes from Ansys.

Parameters:

• NodeCoords (list) – List of nodal coordinates.

• NodeConn (list) – List of nodal connectivities.

• verbose (bool, optional) – If true, will print min, max, and mean element quality, by default False.

Returns:

orthoq – Array of orthogonal qualities for each element.

Return type:

np.ndarray
