- element_array(id=1, type=None, color=1, connectivity=None, structured_array=None)[source]
Creates an array that specifies elements in the geometry
Creates an array of elements that specify connectivity of sensors in a test or analysis. Element arrays can be created using a numpy structured array or individual arrays for each attribute. Multidimensional arrays can be used.
- Parameters
id (ndarray) – Integer array corresponding to the id of the node. Input will be cast to an integer (i.e. 2.0 -> 2, 1.9 -> 1)
type (ndarray) – Element types. See notes for type mapping
color (ndarray) – color of the elements as integers
connectivity (ndarray) – An object array of iterables defining the connectivity for each element.
structured_array (ndarray (structured)) – Alternatively to the individual attributes, a single numpy structured array can be passed, which should have the same name as the inputs to the function listed above.
- Returns
element_array
- Return type
