Functions

get_simple_building()

Get a mesh modelling a simple idealized skyscraper.
This function will build a "skyscraper" type elastic model from a collection of SalvusMesh structured grid objects. A variety of features are parameterized and can be modified on the fly. This function may serve as a starting point for a more complex or realistic model and mesh as generated by the user.

Optional
nelem_per_wavelength
Type:float
Default value:2
