meshinit
Purpose
meshinit
Build an initial mesh.
Syntax
Description
fem.mesh = meshinit(fem,...)
fem.mesh = meshinit(geom,...)
fem = meshinit(fem,'out',{'fem'},...)
fem.mesh = meshinit(fem,...) returns a mesh object derived from the
geometry object fem.geom. It uses a Delaunay algorithm. The mesh size is
determined from the shape of the geometry object and various property/value
pairs.
fem.mesh = meshinit(geom,...) returns a mesh object derived from the
geometry object geom.
The mesh object fem.mesh is the data structure for the mesh. See femmesh for a
full description of the mesh object.
fem = meshinit(fem,'Out',{'fem'},...) modifies the FEM structure to
include the mesh object fem.mesh.
The function meshinit accepts the following property/value pairs:
