Mohammad - Welcome to FiPy.
It's not a problem to mix triangles and quadrilaterals. FiPy is designed for this. The complication is that FiPy constructs cells from faces and faces are defined by vertices (nodes), so we need to reconstruct the face definitions from your cell_node_id. Cribbing from gmshMesh.py: ============ import fipy as fp from fipy.meshes.mesh2D import Mesh2D from fipy.tools import numerix as nx node_coordinates = fp.numerix.array( ((0., 0.), (1., 0.), (0., 1.), (1., 1.), (2., 0.), (3., 0.), (2., 1.), (3., 1.), (2., 2.), (3., 2.) ) ) cell_node_id = fp.numerix.MA.masked_less(( (0, 1, 2, -1), (1, 3, 2, -1), (1, 4, 6, 3), (4, 5, 7, -1), (4, 7, 6, -1), (6, 7, 9, 8) ), value=0.) currNumFaces = 0 cellsToFaces = nx.ones(cell_node_id.shape, long) * -1 facesDict = {} uniqueFaces = [] for cellIdx, cell in enumerate(cell_node_id): cell = cell.compressed() faces = fp.numerix.concatenate((cell[..., nx.newaxis], fp.numerix.roll(cell, -1)[..., nx.newaxis]), axis=1) for faceIdx, face in enumerate(faces): keyStr = ' '.join([str(x) for x in sorted(face)]) if keyStr in facesDict: cellsToFaces[cellIdx][faceIdx] = facesDict[keyStr] else: # new face facesDict[keyStr] = currNumFaces cellsToFaces[cellIdx][faceIdx] = currNumFaces uniqueFaces.append(list(face)) currNumFaces += 1 # pad short faces with -1 maxFaceLen = max([len(f) for f in uniqueFaces]) uniqueFaces = [[-1] * (maxFaceLen - len(f)) + f for f in uniqueFaces] facesToVertices = nx.array(uniqueFaces, dtype=int) mesh = Mesh2D(vertexCoords=node_coordinates.swapaxes(0, 1).copy('C'), faceVertexIDs=facesToVertices.swapaxes(0, 1)[::-1], cellFaceIDs=cellsToFaces.swapaxes(0, 1).copy('C')) ============ In order to help with the boundary conditions, I need to know more about how define them, both their location and their values. - Jon > On Nov 21, 2019, at 10:30 PM, Mohammad Madani <mada...@uwindsor.ca> wrote: > > Hello Everyone, > I sent below email to Dr. Guyer and he advised me to join the mailing list > and bring my questions here.
