mymesh.utils.makePyramidLayer

mymesh.utils.makePyramidLayer(VoxelCoords, VoxelConn, PyramidHeight=None)

Generate a set of pyramid elements that cover the surface of the voxel mesh. To merge the pyramid layer with the voxel mesh, use MergeMesh().

Parameters:

• VoxelCoords (list) – Contains coordinates for each node in a voxel mesh. Ex. [[x0,y0,z0],…].

• VoxelConn (List) – Nodal connectivity list. The voxel mesh is assumed to consist of a set of uniform cubic hexahedral elements.

• PyramidHeight (float (or None), optional) – Height of the pyramids. The default is None. If no height as assigned, it will default to 1/2 of the voxel size

Returns:

• PyramidCoords (list) – List of nodal coordinates for the pyramid elements.

• PyramidConn (list) – List of nodal connectivities for the pyramid elements.
