Mesh & Mesh Interface

HOOPS Access supports the management of grid topology and geometry for unstructured (finite element) grids. The goal is to provide a uniform method for querying for grid connectivity, adjacency and geometry information regardless of the details of the underlying grid topology. The Mesh class has been constructed to manage finite element grids in this manner. In addition, this class supports a variety of identifier associations for nodes (vertices) and elements (cells) which are commonly used in the application areas of finite element grid technology. These associations include element type, property identifier, iblanking, etc.
