def compute_spatial_gradients(
    mesh: UnstructuredMesh, fields: str | list[str] | None = None
) -> None: ...

Extract spatial model gradients.

This function takes a mesh object and computes the spatial model gradient of each field contained in the mesh. The function returns the same mesh with additional fields for each component of the gradient.

Model gradients are always computed in Cartesian coordinates. By construction of the Lagrange basis, the gradients are not continuous across elemental boundaries. Hence, the values of the gradient on points shared between elements, depend on which element they are computed in.

def compute_volume_integrals(
    mesh: UnstructuredMesh, fields: str | list[str]
) -> dict[str, float]: ...

Compute volume integrals of fields over the mesh.

This function computes the volume integrals of the passed fields defined as elemental fields or elemental nodal fields.
