discretize.base.BaseTensorMesh#
- class discretize.base.BaseTensorMesh(h, origin=None, **kwargs)[source]#
Base class for tensor-product style meshes.
This class contains properites and methods that are common to Cartesian and cylindrical meshes. That is, meshes whose cell centers, nodes, faces and edges can be constructed with tensor-products of vectors.
Do not use this class directly! Practical tensor meshes supported in discretize will inherit this class; i.e.
discretize.TensorMesh
andCylindricalMesh
. Inherit this class if you plan to develop a new tensor-style mesh class (e.g. a spherical mesh).- Parameters:
- h(
dim
) iterableof
int
,numpy.ndarray
,or
tuple
Defines the cell widths along each axis. The length of the iterable object is equal to the dimension of the mesh (1, 2 or 3). For a 3D mesh, the list would have the form [hx, hy, hz] .
Along each axis, the user has 3 choices for defining the cells widths:
int
-> A unit interval is equally discretized into N cells.numpy.ndarray
-> The widths are explicity given for each cellthe widths are defined as a
list
oftuple
of the form (dh, nc, [npad]) where dh is the cell width, nc is the number of cells, and npad (optional) is a padding factor denoting exponential increase/decrease in the cell width for each cell; e.g. [(2., 10, -1.3), (2., 50), (2., 10, 1.3)]
- origin(
dim
) iterable, default: 0 Define the origin or ‘anchor point’ of the mesh; i.e. the bottom-left-frontmost corner. By default, the mesh is anchored such that its origin is at
[0, 0, 0]
.For each dimension (x, y or z), The user may set the origin 2 ways:
a
scalar
which explicitly defines origin along that dimension.{‘0’, ‘C’, ‘N’} a
str
specifying whether the zero coordinate along each axis is the first node location (‘0’), in the center (‘C’) or the last node location (‘N’).
- h(

list
