pysdic.Mesh.n_vertices

property Mesh.n_vertices: int

[Get] The number of vertices \(N_v\) in the mesh - alias for self.vertices.n_points property. This method is equivalent to calling self.n_points property of the vertices, but is provided for convenience and readability when working with meshes.

Returns:

The number of vertices 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 vertices in the mesh.

print(mesh3d.n_vertices)
# Output: 4
