meshsweep
opposite face pairs exist for the subdomain, an error is thrown and the user is
asked to specify the source face.
2 If there is at least one meshed face about the subdomain, the source face is
determined according to the following.
a The face with lowest geometric degree and face index of the meshed faces
about the subdomain that is not a boundary face of another subdomain.
b The face with lowest geometric degree and face index of the unmeshed faces.
c The face with lowest geometric degree and lowest face index of all faces about
the subdomain.
Examples
Create a swept mesh on a cylinder geometry specifying the element layer
distribution in the sweep direction.
fem.geom = cylinder3;
fem.mesh = meshsweep(fem,'sourceface',{1 3},...
'elsweeplayers',{1 logspace(0,1,11)-1});
meshplot(fem);
Create a swept mesh on a helix shaped geometry.
fem.geom = helix3;
fem.mesh = meshsweep(fem,'sourceface',{1 1});
meshplot(fem);
Create a mesh with both tetrahedrons and prisms using meshinit and meshsweep,
respectively.
fem.geom = block3 + cone3(0.3,1,pi/20,'pos',[1 0.5 0.5],...
'axis',[1 0 0]) + cone3(0.3,1,pi/20,...
'pos',[3 0.5 0.5],'axis',[-1 0 0]) + ...
block3(1,1,1,'pos',[3 0 0]);
fem.mesh = meshsweep(fem,'subdomain',[2 3],'sourceface',{2 7});
fem.mesh = meshinit(fem,'meshstart',fem.mesh);
meshplot(fem);
Create a swept mesh with hexahedrons on a block geometry by meshing a source
face prior to the meshsweep operation using the mapped quad mesher.
fem.geom = block3;
fem.mesh = meshmap(fem,'face',1);
fem.mesh = meshsweep(fem,'meshstart',fem.mesh);
meshplot(fem);
