TET_MESH_DISPLAY is a MATLAB program which reads data defining a tet mesh and displays a wireframe plot of the nodes and edges, and a solid plot of selected tetrahedrons.
The tet mesh is defined by a node file containing the coordinates of nodes, and an element file containing lists of node indices that make up each tetrahedron.
The tet mesh may be either linear (defined by 4 nodes) or quadratic (defined by 10 nodes).
Note that, for the 10 node case, we assume that the element file lists the node indices in the following order:
P1 P2 P3 P4 P12 P13 P14 P23 P24 P34Here "P14" is meant to indicate the midside node between nodes 1 and 4. There are many possible conventions for ordering the nodes, and if this particular convention is not followed, the display of 10 node tetrahedrons will be garbled.
The nodes and edges of all tetrahedrons will be displayed automatically.
The input argument SOLID can be used to specify the indices of tetrahedrons that are to be displayed as solids. Specifying a single nonzero index will highlight the corresponding element. If SOLID is not supplied as an argument, it will be prompted for, and can be given as a MATLAB expression, such as '[]', '1', '1:2:9', or '[3,7,8]'.
