Fields

The class is defined by the following fields:

Entity/Object	Variable	Description
integer		Version
integer		Space dimension
Transform		Transformation
integer	nv	Number of vertices
double[nv][3]	p	Matrix of mesh vertex coordinates
double[nv][2]		Matrix of mesh vertex parameters
integer	nt	Number of triangles
integers[nv][3]	elem	Matrix of vertex indices for each element

Description

Mesh structures for surface meshes can be used to make a geometric definition of unstructured data. Since a mesh type in COMSOL Multiphysics have coordinates as well as parameter values for each element, interpolation can be employed to create smooth surfaces.

A quadratic interpolation is used to define a parametric surface from a surface mesh.

The matrix p of coordinates and the triangles elem with indices into p are used as the interpolation data.
