pysdic.Mesh.n_elements

property Mesh.n_elements: int

[Get] The number of elements \(N_e\) in the mesh - alias for self.connectivity.n_elements property.

Returns:

The number of elements in the mesh.

Return type:

int

Examples

Create a simple Mesh instance.

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(points, connectivity, element_type="triangle_3")

Get the number of elements in the mesh.

print(mesh3d.n_elements)
# Output: 4
