Description<br />

Mesh structures for surface meshes can be used to make a geometric definition of<br />

unstructured data. Since a mesh type in <strong>COMSOL</strong> Multiphysics have coordinates as<br />

well as parameter values for each element, interpolation can be employed to create<br />

smooth surfaces.<br />

A quadratic interpolation is used to define a parametric surface from a surface mesh.<br />

The matrix p of coordinates and the triangles elem with indices into p are used as<br />

the interpolation data.<br />
