mymesh.tree.Surface2Octree#
- mymesh.tree.Surface2Octree(NodeCoords, SurfConn, minsize=None, maxdepth=None, exact_minsize=True)[source]#
Generate an octree representation of a triangular surface mesh. The octree will be refined until each node contains only one triangle or the maximum depth or minimum size criteria are met. Each node contains a list of element ids corresponding to the elements that are contained within that node in the OctreeNode.data field.
- Parameters:
NodeCoords (array_like) – Node coordinates of the surface mesh
SurfConn (array_like) – Node connectivity of the triangular surface mesh. This must be an nx3 array or list.
minsize (float, optional) – Minimum size for an octree node, by default None. If supplied, octree nodes will not be divided to be smaller than this size.
maxdepth (int, optional) – Maximum depth of the octree, by default 5 unless minsize is set
- Returns:
root – Root node of the generate octree
- Return type:
