MeshConnectivityGraph
MeshConnectivityGraph[mr,0]
gives a graph of points connected by lines.
MeshConnectivityGraph[mr,d]
gives a graph between cells of dimension d that share a cell of dimension d-1.
MeshConnectivityGraph[mr,{d,e},r]
gives a graph from cells of dimension d to cells of dimension e that share a cell of dimension r.
Details and Options
- MeshConnectivityGraph is also known as mesh adjacency graph and mesh incidence graph.
- Typical uses include getting cell adjacencies and topological information in a mesh.
- A vertex {d,i} in the connectivity graph corresponds to the cell cd,i with dimension d and index i in the mesh mr.
- An undirected edge in MeshConnectivityGraph[mr,d]connects two vertices {d,i} and {d,j} whenever the cells cd,i and cd,j both have a common subcell of dimension d-1. For d=0, the common subcell has dimension 1.
- Common cases for d are:
-
0 points that share a line 1 lines that share a point 2 polygons that share an edge 3 polyhedra that share a polygon - In MeshConnectivityGraph[mr,{d,e},r], a directed edge connects the vertex {d,i} to the vertex {e,j} whenever the cells cd,i and ce,j have a common cell of dimension r that is either a subset or a superset of cd,i and ce,j.
- MeshConnectivityGraph[mr] is effectively equivalent to MeshConnectivityGraph[mr,0].
- MeshConnectivityGraph[mr,d,r] is equivalent to the undirected graph of the graph MeshConnectivityGraph[mr,{d,d},r].
- MeshConnectivityGraph takes the same options as Graph with the following changes:
