fem2d_scalar_display_brief


fem2d_scalar_display_brief, a MATLAB code which reads datafiles describing a set of nodes, their triangulation, and the value of a scalar quantity at each node, and creates a graphics file of the corresponding surface plot, which is then displayed using the MATLAB graphics system, using just 5 lines of code.

The "txyv" program reads three data files:

and plots the surface u(x,y).

The "txyz" program reads two data files:

and essentially plots the surface z(x,y).

Usage:

fem2d_scalar_display_brief ( 'prefix' )
where 'prefix' is the common prefix for the node, element and value files:
