2.3.3.3.71. NXcg_tetrahedron_set

Status:

base class, extends NXcg_primitive_set

Description:

Computational geometry description of a set of tetrahedra. ...

Computational geometry description of a set of tetrahedra.

Among hexahedral elements, tetrahedral elements are one of the most frequently used geometric primitive for meshing and describing volumetric objects in continuum-field simulations.

Symbols:

The symbols used in the schema to specify e.g. dimensions of arrays.

c: The cardinality of the set, i.e. the number of tetrahedra.
