calfem.vis_mpl.draw_mesh¶

Purpose:

Draws wire mesh of model in 2D or 3D. Returns the Mesh object that represents the mesh.

Syntax:

cfv.draw_mesh(coords, edof, dofs_per_node, el_type, title=None, color=(0, 0, 0), face_color=(0.8, 0.8, 0.8), node_color=(0, 0, 0), filled=False, show_nodes=False)

Description:

Source docstring:

Draws wire mesh of model in 2D or 3D. Returns the Mesh object that represents
the mesh.

Parameters
----------
coords : ndarray
    An N-by-2 or N-by-3 array. Row i contains the x,y,z coordinates of node i.
edof : ndarray
    An E-by-L array. Element topology. (E is the number of elements and L is the number of dofs per element)
dofs_per_nodes : int
    Integer. Dofs per node.
el_type : int
    Integer. Element Type. See Gmsh manual for details. Usually 2 for triangles or 3 for quadrangles.
axes : matplotlib.axes.Axes, optional
    Matplotlib Axes. The Axes where the model will be drawn. If unspecified the current Axes will be used, or a new Axes will be created if none exist.
axes_adjust : bool, optional
    Boolean. True if the view should be changed to show the whole model. Default True.
title : str, optional
    String. Changes title of the figure. Default "Mesh".
color : tuple or str, optional
    3-tuple or char. Color of the wire. Defaults to black (0,0,0). Can also be given as a character in 'rgbycmkw'.
face_color : tuple or str, optional
    3-tuple or char. Color of the faces. Defaults to white (1,1,1). Parameter filled must be True or faces will not be drawn at all.
filled : bool, optional
    Boolean. Faces will be drawn if True. Otherwise only the wire is drawn. Default False.
