<h2>8.11: Finite Element Model mesh</h2>
Finite Element Models (used in fluid mechanics) employ non-rectangular
meshes, and plotting these meshes requires a few intermediate steps.
Consider the common case of triangular elements. Suppose two data files
exist describing the mesh, the first, `<font color="#82140F"><samp>model.nodes</samp></font>' say, consists
of a description of the x-y coordinates of the nodes (vertices) of the
triangles. The second, `<font color="#82140F"><samp>model.elements</samp></font>' say, consists of a
description of which triplet of nodes defines each triangle in the mesh.
Here, from a sample application, is a node file called
`<font color="#82140F"><samp>model.nodes</samp></font>':
<p>
<TABLE SUMMARY="Example" BORDER="0" BGCOLOR="#efefef" WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
<TD>
<PRE>
<font color="#82140F">
1 1 1
2 2 1
3 1 2
4 3 1.5
5 2 2
6 1.5 3
</font></PRE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<p>
Here is the corresponding file of the elements, called `<font color="#82140F"><samp>model.elements</samp></font>'
<p>
<TABLE SUMMARY="Example" BORDER="0" BGCOLOR="#efefef" WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
<TD>
<PRE>
<font color="#82140F">
1 1 2 3
2 2 5 3
3 2 4 5
4 3 5 6
</font></PRE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<p>
In each of these files, the first column is a reference number. Thus,
`<font color="#82140F"><samp>model.elements</samp></font>' indicates that the first triangle is defined by
the nodes numbered `<font color="#82140F"><code>1</code></font>', `<font color="#82140F"><code>2</code></font>' and `<font color="#82140F"><code>3</code></font>' as defined in
`<font color="#82140F"><samp>model.nodes</samp></font>'. More specifically, the triangle is defined by
vertices at (x,y) locations (1,1), (2,1), and (1,2).
<p>
A Gri program, named `<font color="#82140F"><samp>FEM.gri</samp></font>', to draw the nodes is the following.
<p>
<TABLE SUMMARY="Example" BORDER="0" BGCOLOR="#efefef" WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
<TD>
<PRE>
<font color="#82140F">
set missing value -99.99
# Create data using perl-script ...
system FEM.pl model.nodes model.elements > tmp
# ... then plot it ...
open tmp
read columns x y
close
draw curve
# ... and, finally, clean up the temporary file
system rm tmp
</font></PRE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<p>
The work of interpreting the data files is done by the perlscript that
follows, named `<font color="#82140F"><samp>FEM.pl</samp></font>'
<p>
<TABLE SUMMARY="Example" BORDER="0" BGCOLOR="#efefef" WIDTH="100%">

$max_node = 1;
while(<NODE>) {

die "Node mismatch at index=$index"
if ($index != $max_node);
$max_node++;

if ($index != $max_elem);
$max_elem++;
}
<p>
# Print out triangles suitable for plotting in gri.
for ($i = 1; $i < $max_elem; $i++) {
print $node_x[$a[$i]], " ", $node_y[$a[$i]], "\n";
print $node_x[$b[$i]], " ", $node_y[$b[$i]], "\n";

print $missing, " ", $missing, "\n";
