Functions to assist in setting up fibres in generated meshes.

Function Documentation

linear_fibre_rule()

def carputils.mesh.fibres.linear_fibre_rule	(		endo,
			epi,
			unit = 'degrees'
	)

Generate a linear fibre rule in the format expected by :class:carputils.mesh.Ring and :class:carputils.mesh.Ellipsoid.

For example, for a +60/-60 fibre rule:

>>> rule = linear_fibre_rule(60, -60)
>>> geom = Ring(5, fibre_rule=rule)

For more details on mesh generation and definition of fibres, see :ref:generating_fibres.

Parameters

endo	float Fibre helix angle on the endocardium
epi	float Fibre helix angle on the epicardium
unit	str, optional One of ['degrees', 'radians'], the type of units endo and epi are specified in, defaults to degrees
