StoU

StoU transforms rectiliniar, structured or uniform grids and data received into unstructured grids (which can be composed of tetrahedrons, hexahedrons, pyramids or prisms) and unstructured data.

StoU is available for all COVISE versions on all supported platforms.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
option	Choice	Conversion options: tetrahedrons: the basic element of the output unstructured grid will be the tetrahedron hexahedrons: the basic element of the output unstructured grid will be the hexahedron pyramids: the basic element of the output unstructured grid will be the pyramid prisms: the basic element of the output unstructured grid will be the prism

Input Ports

Name	Type	Description
requiredmeshIn	StructuredGrid RectilinearGrid UniformGrid	The input grid
optionaldataIn_1 ... dataIn_4	Float Vec3 IntArray	Data

Output Ports

Name	Type	Description
outputmeshOut	UnstructuredGrid	Unstructured Grid
outputdataOut_1 ... dataOut_4	Float Vec3 IntArray	Data

Examples

In the example map we use the module ShowGrid to see only a given element of the unstructured grid; the Renderer output is shown below for the options

1. tetrahedrons (use Preferences > > Clipping Plane to see inside the cube, or use the parameter "pos" of ShowGrid to move the example tetrahedron into the visible region)
2. hexahedrons
3. pyramids
4. prisms
