FEM_TO_TRIANGLE
Convert a Mesh from FEM to Triangle Format {#fem_to_triangle-convert-a-mesh-from-fem-to-triangle-format align="center"}


FEM_TO_TRIANGLE is a C program which reads FEM files of node coordinates and element connectivity, which define a mesh of a 2D region, divided into triangular elements, and creates a corresponding pair of Triangle files.

These files can be used as input to Triangle for viewing, or mesh refinement.

Usage: {#usage align="center"}

fem_to_triangle prefix

where prefix is the common filename prefix:

  • 'prefix'_nodes.txt contains the node coordinates,
  • 'prefix'_elements.txt contains the element definitions.
  • 'prefix'.node will be the Triangle node file.
  • 'prefix'.ele will be the Triangle element file.
