pysdic.Connectivity.to_npz

Connectivity.to_npz(filepath, save_properties=True)

Save the connectivity to a NumPy NPZ file.

The elements will be saved as an array named ‘elements’ with shape \((N_e, N_{vpe})\). Additional properties will be saved as separate arrays in the NPZ file with names in the format "_properties/{property_name}".

• from_npz() method for creating a Connectivity object from a NPZ file.

Parameters:

• filepath (str) – The path to the output NPZ file.

• save_properties (bool, optional) – If True, all properties of the connectivity will be saved as separate arrays in the NPZ file. Default is True.

Return type:

None

Examples

Saving a Connectivity object to a NPZ file.

from pysdic import PointCloud
import numpy as np

# Create a random connectivity with 100 elements
random_elements = np.random.randint(0, 100, size=(100, 4))  # shape (100, 4)
connectivity = Connectivity.from_array(random_elements)

# Save the connectivity to a NPZ file
connectivity.to_npz('path/to/output_connectivity.npz')

This will save the elements and properties of the connectivity to the specified NPZ file.
