WOLFRAM

is an option for DiscretizeRegion and related functions that specifies the maximum cell measure for the result.

Details

  • Possible settings for a region of dimension include:
  • mconstrain the -dimensional measure to be at most m
    {,dimi,}constrain the -dimensional measure to be at most mi
  • The names "Volume", "Area", and "Length" may be used in place of the dimensions 3, 2, and 1.
  • When only a few cell measure constraints are given, other constraints are automatically computed to be compatible with mesh cells of reasonable quality.

Basic Examples  (1)Summary of the most common use cases

Discretize a unit disk into triangles with area at most 0.5:

Out[1]=1

Restrict the area to 0.01:

Out[2]=2

Scope  (7)Survey of the scope of standard use cases

Discretize a unit disk into triangles with area at most 0.1:

Out[1]=1

Restrict the area to 0.01:

Out[2]=2

This gives the areas of the triangles:

Specify a maximum length for line segments:

Out[1]=1

A Histogram of the line segment lengths:

Out[2]=2

In 3D, specify a maximum area for faces:

Out[1]=1

A Histogram of the face areas:

Out[2]=2

Discretize a Graphics scene with a maximum cell area of 0.1:

Out[1]=1
Out[2]=2

Discretize a Graphics3D scene with a maximum cell volume of 0.1:

Out[1]=1
Out[2]=2

Compare different length settings:

Out[1]=1
Out[2]=2

Compare different face area settings:

Out[1]=1
Out[2]=2
Out[3]=3
