mymesh.utils.TriSurfVol

mymesh.utils.TriSurfVol(NodeCoords, SurfConn)

Calculates the volume contained within a surface mesh. Based on ‘Efficient feature extraction for 2D/3D objects in mesh representation.’ - Zhang, C. and Chen, T., 2001

Parameters:

• NodeCoords (list of lists) – Contains coordinates for each node. Ex. [[x1,y1,z1],…].

• SurfConn (List of lists) – Nodal connectivity list for a triangular surface mesh.

Returns:

V – Volume contained within the surface mesh.

Return type:

float
