sparseSpatialSampling.geometry.sphere_geometry module

Implements a class for using circles (2D) or spheres (3D) as geometry object.

class sparseSpatialSampling.geometry.sphere_geometry.SphereGeometry(name, keep_inside, position, radius, refine=False, min_refinement_level=None)[source]

Bases: GeometryObject

Implement a class for using circles (2D) or spheres (3D) as geometry objects representing the numerical domain or geometries inside the domain.

Parameters:

  • name (str) – Name of the geometry object.

  • keep_inside (bool) – If True, the points inside the object are kept; if False, they are masked out.

  • position (list) – Position of the circle or sphere as [x, y, z] (center coordinates).

  • radius (Union[int, float]) – Radius of the circle or sphere.

  • refine (bool) – If True, the mesh around the geometry object is refined after \(S^3\) generates the mesh.

  • min_refinement_level (int | None) – Minimum refinement level for resolving the geometry. If None and refine=True, the geometry will be resolved with the maximum refinement level present at its surface after \(S^3\) has generated the grid.

check_cell(cell_nodes, refine_geometry=False)[source]

Check if a cell is valid or invalid based on the specified settings.

Parameters:

  • cell_nodes (pt.Tensor) – Vertices of the cell to be checked.

  • refine_geometry (bool) – If False, cells are masked out while generating the grid. If True, checks whether a cell is located in the vicinity of the geometry surface to refine it subsequently. This parameter is provided by \(S^3\).

Returns:

True if the cell is invalid, False if the cell is valid.

Return type:

bool

property type: str

Return the name of the geometry object.

Returns:

Name of the geometry object.

Return type:

str
