meshsweep
Purpose
meshsweep
Create swept mesh.
Syntax
Description
fem.mesh = meshsweep(fem,...)
fem.mesh = meshsweep(fem.geom,...)
fem.mesh = meshsweep(fem,...) returns a swept mesh derived from the 3D
geometry in fem.geom.
fem.mesh = meshsweep(geom,...) returns a swept mesh derived from the 3D
geometry geom.
A swept mesh is created for each subdomain by meshing the corresponding source
face, if this face is not already meshed, and sweeping the resulting face mesh along
the subdomain to the opposite target face.
If the source face for a subdomain is not meshed prior to the meshsweep operation,
the source face is automatically meshed with triangles using the free mesh generator
(meshinit). Then, the swept mesh consists of prism elements. To create a swept
mesh with hexahedral elements, you need to mesh the source face with quadrilateral
elements using the mapped quad mesher (meshmap) prior to the meshsweep
operation.
The function meshsweep accepts the following property/value pairs.
