# discretize.TensorMesh¶

class discretize.TensorMesh(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: discretize.base.base_tensor_mesh.BaseTensorMesh, discretize.base.base_mesh.BaseRectangularMesh, discretize.operators.differential_operators.DiffOperators, discretize.operators.inner_products.InnerProducts, discretize.base.mesh_io.TensorMeshIO

TensorMesh is a mesh class that deals with tensor product meshes.

Any Mesh that has a constant width along the entire axis such that it can defined by a single width vector, called ‘h’.

import discretize

hx = np.array([1, 1, 1])
hy = np.array([1, 2])
hz = np.array([1, 1, 1, 1])

mesh = discretize.TensorMesh([hx, hy, hz])
mesh.plot_grid()


Example of a padded tensor mesh using discretize.utils.unpack_widths():

import discretize
mesh = discretize.TensorMesh([
[(10, 10, -1.3), (10, 40), (10, 10, 1.3)],
[(10, 10, -1.3), (10, 20)]
])
mesh.plot_grid()


For a quick tensor mesh on a (10x12x15) unit cube

import discretize
mesh = discretize.TensorMesh([10, 12, 15])

TensorMesh.rotation_matrix

Builds a rotation matrix to transform coordinates from their coordinate system into a conventional cartesian system. This is built off of the three axis_u, axis_v, and axis_w properties; these mapping coordinates use the letters U, V, and W (the three letters preceding X, Y, and Z in the alphabet) to define the projection of the X, Y, and Z durections. These UVW vectors describe the placement and transformation of the mesh’s coordinate sytem assuming at most 3 directions.

Why would you want to use these UVW mapping vectors the this rotation_matrix property? They allow us to define the realationship between local and global coordinate systems and provide a tool for switching between the two while still maintaing the connectivity of the mesh’s cells. For a visual example of this, please see the figure in the docs for the InterfaceVTK.

## Methods¶

TensorMesh.copy()

Make a copy of the current mesh

classmethod TensorMesh.deserialize(value, **kwargs)

Creates HasProperties instance from serialized dictionary

This uses the Property deserializers to deserialize all JSON-compatible dictionary values into their corresponding Property values on a new instance of a HasProperties class. Extra keys in the dictionary that do not correspond to Properties will be ignored.

Parameters:

• value - Dictionary to deserialize new instance from.

• trusted - If True (and if the input dictionary has '__class__' keyword and this class is in the registry), the new HasProperties class will come from the dictionary. If False (the default), only the HasProperties class this method is called on will be constructed.

• strict - Requires '__class__', if present on the input dictionary, to match the deserialized instance’s class. Also disallows unused properties in the input dictionary. Default is False.

• assert_valid - Require deserialized instance to be valid. Default is False.

• Any other keyword arguments will be passed through to the Property deserializers.

TensorMesh.equal(other)

Determine if two HasProperties instances are equivalent

Equivalence is determined by checking if all Property values on two instances are equal, using Property.equal.

static TensorMesh.from_omf(element)

Convert an OMF element to it’s proper discretize type. Automatically determines the output type. Returns both the mesh and a dictionary of model arrays.

Examples

Plot a slice of a 3D TensorMesh solution to a Laplace’s equaiton.

First build the mesh:

>>> from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
>>> import discretize
>>> from pymatsolver import Solver
>>> hx = [(5, 2, -1.3), (2, 4), (5, 2, 1.3)]
>>> hy = [(2, 2, -1.3), (2, 6), (2, 2, 1.3)]
>>> hz = [(2, 2, -1.3), (2, 6), (2, 2, 1.3)]
>>> M = discretize.TensorMesh([hx, hy, hz])


then build the necessary parts of the PDE:

>>> q = np.zeros(M.vnC)
>>> q[[4, 4], [4, 4], [2, 6]]=[-1, 1]
>>> q = discretize.utils.mkvc(q)
>>> A = M.face_divergence * M.cell_gradient
>>> b = Solver(A) * (q)


and finaly, plot the vector values of the result, which are defined on faces

>>> M.plot_slice(M.cell_gradient*b, 'F', view='vec', grid=True, pcolor_opts={'alpha':0.8})
>>> plt.show()


We can use the slice_loc kwarg to tell plot_slice where to slice the mesh. Let’s create a mesh with a random model and plot slice of it. The slice_loc kwarg automatically determines the indices for slicing the mesh along a plane with the given normal.

>>> M = discretize.TensorMesh([32, 32, 32])
>>> v = discretize.utils.random_model(M.vnC, seed=789).reshape(-1, order='F')
>>> x_slice, y_slice, z_slice = 0.75, 0.25, 0.9
>>> plt.figure(figsize=(7.5, 3))
>>> ax = plt.subplot(131)
>>> M.plot_slice(v, normal='X', slice_loc=x_slice, ax=ax)
>>> ax = plt.subplot(132)
>>> M.plot_slice(v, normal='Y', slice_loc=y_slice, ax=ax)
>>> ax = plt.subplot(133)
>>> M.plot_slice(v, normal='Z', slice_loc=z_slice, ax=ax)
>>> plt.tight_layout()
>>> plt.show()


(png, pdf)

This also works for TreeMesh. We create a mesh here that is refined within three boxes, along with a base level of refinement.

>>> TM = discretize.TreeMesh([32, 32, 32])
>>> TM.refine(3, finalize=False)
>>> BSW = [[0.25, 0.25, 0.25], [0.15, 0.15, 0.15], [0.1, 0.1, 0.1]]
>>> TNE = [[0.75, 0.75, 0.75], [0.85, 0.85, 0.85], [0.9, 0.9, 0.9]]
>>> levels = [6, 5, 4]
>>> TM.refine_box(BSW, TNE, levels)
>>> v_TM = discretize.utils.volume_average(M, TM, v)
>>> plt.figure(figsize=(7.5, 3))
>>> ax = plt.subplot(131)
>>> TM.plot_slice(v_TM, normal='X', slice_loc=x_slice, ax=ax)
>>> ax = plt.subplot(132)
>>> TM.plot_slice(v_TM, normal='Y', slice_loc=y_slice, ax=ax)
>>> ax = plt.subplot(133)
>>> TM.plot_slice(v_TM, normal='Z', slice_loc=z_slice, ax=ax)
>>> plt.tight_layout()
>>> plt.show()
