meshReader

Mesh reader library for OpenCMISS-iron

File formats

This library can convert the following mesh formats to OpenCMISS-iron node/element numbering schemes:

1. CHeart X/T/B file format

• linear/quadratic triangles
• linear/quadratic quadrilaterals
• linear/quadratic tetrahedra
• linear/quadratic hexahedra

2. Cubit file format

• TBD

Further mesh formats, interpolation orders and mesh types will follow, e.g.,

1. exnode/exelem file format
2. UGRID file format
3. VTK file format

Utilities

This library also adds some convenience functions for dealing with meshes. For example,

1. GeneratedMesh_SurfaceWeightsGet - This function computes the nodal weights required to apply consistent nodal forces.
2. ImportedMesh_SurfaceGet - This function gets all the nodes associated with a patch ID for imported meshes.

• Note: So far, only for CHeart mesh files.

3. ImportedMesh_SurfaceWeightsGet - This function computes the nodal weights required to apply consistent nodal forces.

• Note: So far, only for CHeart mesh files.

Installation

Simply run the following commands:

1. cmake .
2. make
3. make install
