The internal representation of a mesh must allows us to find a particular value (quantity stored in the representation) rapidly, or to calculate a value easily from information presented (quantity deduced from stored information). A mesh is therefore, in general, an assembly of values and arrays of values containing the set of geometric elements which constitute it. The following information is necessary for each element:
sub-domain number ![]() |
reference number ![]() |
The MODULEF code stores this information in a NOPO data structure, constituting the natural interface between the different mesh modules.
Remark:
As many reference numbers are assigned as required in order to incorporate the entire set of descriptions.
