Examples

Create a simple Mesh instance with a specified element type.

import numpy as np
from pysdic import Mesh, PointCloud

points = np.array([[0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 1]])
connectivity = np.array([[0, 1, 2], [0, 1, 3], [0, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]])
mesh3d = Mesh(PointCloud.from_array(points), connectivity, element_type="triangle_3")

Get the element type of the mesh.

print(mesh3d.element_type)
# Output: triangle_3
