Volume Mesh

---

Volume meshes can be saved using the domain member function saveVolumeMesh. The generated .vtu mesh is intended for visualization and post-processing, not as input for subsequent ViennaPS simulations.

Hull and disk meshes are also available as VTK .vtp outputs. Hull meshes visualize the exterior hull of the Level-Set stack, while disk meshes contain the material-resolved disk representation with material IDs.

API

void saveVolumeMesh(const std::string &fileName,
                    double wrappingLayerEpsilon = 1e-2) const;

SmartPointer<viennals::Mesh<NumericType>>
getHullMesh(NumericType bottomExtension = 0.0,
            bool sharpCorners = false) const;

void saveHullMesh(const std::string &fileName,
                  NumericType bottomExtension = 0.0,
                  bool sharpCorners = false) const;

SmartPointer<viennals::Mesh<NumericType>> getDiskMesh() const;

void saveDiskMesh(const std::string &fileName) const;

Parameter	Description
fileName	Output file name or prefix passed to the VTK writer.
wrappingLayerEpsilon	Tolerance used for wrapping layers in the visualization mesh.
bottomExtension	Extends hull meshes downward by the given distance when positive.
sharpCorners	Preserve sharp features during hull meshing.

Example usage:

C++

auto domain = ps::Domain<NumericType, D>::New();
...
// create geometry in domain
...
domain->saveVolumeMesh("fileName");

// Optionally adjust the wrapping tolerance
domain->saveVolumeMesh("fileName_fine", 5e-3);

// Save hull and disk meshes
domain->saveHullMesh("hull.vtp", 5.0, true);
domain->saveDiskMesh("disk.vtp");

Python:

domain = vps.Domain()
...
# create geometry in domain
...
domain.saveVolumeMesh("fileName")

# Optionally adjust the wrapping tolerance
domain.saveVolumeMesh("fileName_fine", 5e-3)

# Save hull and disk meshes
domain.saveHullMesh("hull.vtp", 5.0, True)
domain.saveDiskMesh("disk.vtp")
