triangulation_refine


triangulation_refine, a MATLAB code which reads information describing a triangulation of a set of points and creates a refined triangulation.

The refined triangulation is created by dividing each triangle into four similar subtriangles. The mesh size parameter h will be halved by such a procedure. If the input triangulation is Delaunay, then so will be the output triangulation.

The program can handle triangulations that use 3 or 6 nodes per triangle.

The input and output files use the simple TABLE format; comment lines begin with a "#" character. Otherwise, each line of the file contains one set of information, either the coordinates of a node (for a node file), or the indices of nodes that make up a triangle, (for a triangle file).

The input file prefix_nodes.txt contains the node information for the triangulation. Each data line contains the X and Y coordinates of a single node.

The input file prefix_elements.txt contains the triangle information for the triangulation. Each line contains the indices of 3 or 6 nodes that form a triangle.

Usage:

triangulation_refine ( 'prefix' )
where 'prefix' is the common filename prefix:
