ToNumericalRegion

ToNumericalRegion[r]

generates a NumericalRegion object from a region r.

ToNumericalRegion[r,{{xmin,xmax},}]

generates a NumericalRegion object from a region r restricted to the bounding box [x_(min),x_(max)]x....

ToNumericalRegion[emesh]

generates a NumericalRegion object from an ElementMesh object.

Details and Options

  • ToNumericalRegion[r] generates a NumericalRegion object that keeps the original representation of the region r together with ElementMesh approximations that may be computed later.
  • The specification for region r is similar to the one given for ToElementMesh.
  • The region r should be a constant region for which ConstantRegionQ gives True.
  • ToNumericalRegion has the following options:
  • "MessageHead"Automaticsymbol for messages
  • Setting the option from NDSolve and related functions is explained in NDSolve Finite Element Options.
