Detailed Description
Generate a one dimensional mesh of line segments.
The generated mesh is aligned along the x axis, with y and z set to 0. The mesh is defined by three parameters, the start and end x coordinate and the node spacing, in mm.
To generate a mesh from x=0 to x=10, with 0.1mm spacing:
>>> geom = Cable(0, 10, 0.1)
>>> geom.generate_carp('mesh/cable')
At present, fibres are always aligned in the positive x direction.
For more information on defining mesh regions etc., please see the :ref:mesh_generation section of the documentation.
- Parameters
-
x0 float The lower x limit of the mesh, in mm x1 float The upper x limit of the mesh, in mm dx float, optional The node spacing of the mesh, in mm, defaults to 0.1
