Module meshx::mesh::topology[−][src]

The general structure of all types of mesh topologies is the mapping from one mesh component (like a face) to another (like a vertex). One may implement any data layout convenient for them but the interface shall remain the same. In 3D a mesh can consist of: cells (3D volumes), faces (2D surfaces), edges (1D curves) and vertices (0D points) Topology defines the mapping between each of these components This trait identifies all indices that identify a particular element in a mesh, whether it is a vertex or a triangle, or even a connectivity between triangles and vertices like a triangle-vertex.

FaceCell

FaceEdge

FaceVertex

TopoIndex is an index for data at a point of connectivity. For instance a FaceVertexIndex identifies a specific vertex pointed to by a face. This means it has a source and a destination. This trait defines the indices for this source and destination indices.
