property SimplexMesh.cell_volumes#

Return cell volumes.

Calling this property will compute and return a 1D array containing the volumes of mesh cells.

Returns:
(n_cells) numpy.ndarray

The quantity returned depends on the dimensions of the mesh:

  • 1D: Returns the cell widths

  • 2D: Returns the cell areas

  • 3D: Returns the cell volumes
