`salvus.mesh.algorithms.unstructured_mesh.material_operations`

Mesh operations that involve materials.

Functions

`to_material()`

def to_material(mesh: UnstructuredMesh) -> material.Material: ...

Create a material from the mesh, without encoding geometrical information.

Parameters

mesh UnstructuredMesh — The mesh.

Returns material.Material — The material, with all parameters of type ArrayParameter.

`transform_material()`

def transform_material(
    mesh: UnstructuredMesh,
    m: typing.Type[material.Material],
    reduction_method: (
        typing.Literal["remove-components", "force"] | None
    ) = None,
) -> UnstructuredMesh: ...

Transform the material of a mesh to another compatible material.

Parameters

mesh UnstructuredMesh — The mesh.
m typing.Type[material.Material] — The desired material.
reduction_method typing.Literal['remove-components', 'force'] | None — Method to move between incompatible symmetry classes. None will only move to symmetries that are equal or more permissive, while remove-components will drop components that are found to match the new material’s constraints as necessary, and thus leading to loss of free parameters but not of information. The option “force” will take all information necessary to construct the new parameter set without verification, leading to loss of information.

Returns UnstructuredMesh — A mesh with replaced elemental nodal fields for the material properties.
