AdjacentMeshCells

AdjacentMeshCells[mr,cellspec,d]

gives cells of dimension d adjacent to the cell specified by cellspec in the mesh mr.

Details

  • AdjacentMeshCells is also known as neighboring cells.
  • Typical uses include getting cell adjacencies and topological information in a mesh.
  • AdjacentMeshCells[mr,cellspec,d] returns a list of cell indices associated to the d-dimensional cells adjacent to cells specified by cellspec.
  • The following cell specifications cellspec can be used:
  • {d,i}cell with index i of dimension d
    {d,ispec}cells with index specification ispec of dimension d
    {dspec,…}cells of dimensions given by dspec
    h[{i1,…}]explicit cell with head h and vertex indices i1, …
    {c1,c2,…}list of explicit cells ci
  • The index specification ispec can have the following form:
  • icell index i
    {i1,i2,…}cells with indices ik
    Allall cells
    pattcells with indices matching the pattern patt
  • The dimension specification dspec can have the following form:
  • dexplicit dimension d
    Allall dimensions from 0 to geometric dimension of region
    pattdimensions matching the pattern patt
