SphereSurfaceMeshGenerator
Generated sphere mesh - a two dimensional manifold embedded in three dimensional space
This object generates a 2D mesh approximating the surface of a sphere in 3D space using TRI3 triangle elements. Both center and radius of the sphere may be specified.
Targeted mesh refinement prior to nucleus insertion.
The mesh is constructed by iterative refinement of an initial icosahedron (depth 0) for a number of steps specified using the depth parameter. After each refinement step all nodes are snapped to the sphere surface defined by radius and center. Each refinement step multiplies the number of mesh elements by a factor of four.
