rhombicDodecahedronHex

Below is a demonstration of the features of the rhombicDodecahedronHex function

Contents

clear; close all; clc;

Syntax

[E,V]=rhombicDodecahedronHex(r);

Description

This function generates a rhombic dodecahedron domain which is subdevided into hexahedral elements. The input is the bounding sphere radius, the outputs are the hexahedral element array and the vertices.

Examples

Plot settings

fontSize=15;
faceAlpha1=0.5;
edgeColor='k';
lineWidth1=3;
markerSize=55;

Creating a patch model of a rhombic dodecahedron

r=sqrt(2)/2; %Radii, results in a width of 1

[E,V]=rhombicDodecahedronHex(r);
C=(1:1:size(E,1))';
[F,CF]=element2patch(E,C);

Plotting results

cFigure;
title('A hexahedral mesh of a rhombic dodecahedron','FontSize',fontSize);
hold on;

gpatch(F,V,CF,'k',faceAlpha1,lineWidth1);
plotV(V,'k.','MarkerSize',markerSize);

axisGeom(gca,fontSize);
view(-10,25);
camlight('headlight');
colormap gjet; icolorbar;
