Description:

pytetwild 0.1.dev1

pytetwild is a Python library for mesh tetrahedralization. It is a
Python wrapper around the efficient C++ library for tetrahedral meshing provided by
fTetWild.

Installation
We have pre-built wheels for Python 3.8 - Python 3.12 for Windows and Linux x64.
The recommended way to install pytetwild is via PyPI:
pip install pytetwild
You can also clone the repository and install it from source, but since there’s
C++ involved, the build is a bit more complicated. See CONTRIBUTING.md for
more details.


Usage
To tetrahedralize a surface mesh from PyVista:
import pyvista as pv
import pytetwild

# Load or create a PyVista PolyData surface mesh
# Here, we'll create a simple sphere mesh as an example
surface_mesh = pv.Icosphere(nsub=2)

# Convert the surface mesh to a tetrahedral mesh. For this example let's
# use a coarse mesh
tetrahedral_mesh = pytetwild.tetrahedralize_pv(surface_mesh, edge_length_fac=1))

# Visualize the tetrahedral mesh in an "exploded" view
tetrahedral_mesh.explode(1).plot(show_edges=True)

You can also work with raw arrays. Here’s a simple cube that we turn into tetrahedra.
import numpy as np

# Define vertices of the cube
vertices = np.array([
[0, 0, 0], # Vertex 0
[1, 0, 0], # Vertex 1
[1, 1, 0], # Vertex 2
[0, 1, 0], # Vertex 3
[0, 0, 1], # Vertex 4
[1, 0, 1], # Vertex 5
[1, 1, 1], # Vertex 6
[0, 1, 1] # Vertex 7
])

# Define faces using vertex indices
# Each face is a rectangle (also accepts triangles)
faces = np.array([
[0, 1, 2, 3], # Front face
[1, 5, 6, 2], # Right face
[5, 4, 7, 6], # Back face
[4, 0, 3, 7], # Left face
[4, 5, 1, 0], # Bottom face
[3, 2, 6, 7] # Top face
])
v_out, tetra = pytetwild.tetrahedralize(vertices, faces, optimize=False)

Usage - Options
We’ve surfaced a handful of parameters to each of our interfaces
tetrahedralize and tetrahedralize_pv. Here are the optional parameters.
Additional Parameters
---------------------
edge_length_fac : float, default: 0.05
Tetrahedral edge length as a function of bounding box diagional. The
default ideal edge length is bb/20 (bounding box divided by 20).
optimize : bool
Improve the minimum scaled Jacobean for each cell. This leads to higher
cell quality at the expense of computation time.
