NAME


tetgen — A Quality Tetrahedral Mesh Generator

SYNOPSIS


tetgen [-pq__a__AriYMS__T__dzjo_fengGOJBNEFICQVvh] file

DESCRIPTION


This manual page documents briefly the tetgen command. Full documentation is available
online: http://tetgen.berlios.de/

tetgen generates the Delaunay tetrahedralization, Voronoi diagram, and convex hull for
three-dimensional point sets, generates the constrained Delaunay tetrahedralizations and
quality tetrahedral meshes for three-dimensional domains with piecewise linear boundary.

OPTIONS


A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the online
documentation.

-p Tetrahedralizes a picecwise linear complex (.poly or .smesh file).

-q Quality mesh generation. A minimum radius-edge ratio may be specifyed (default
2.0).

-a Applies a maximum tetrahedron volume constraint.

-A Assigns attributes to identify tetrahedra in certain regions.

-r Reconstructs/Refines a previously generated mesh.

-Y Suppresses boundary facets/segments splitting.

-i Inserts a list of additional points into mesh.

-M Does not merge coplanar facets.

-T Set a tolerance for coplanar test (default 1e-8).

-d Detect intersections of PLC facets.

-z Numbers all output items starting from zero.

-j Jettison unused vertices from output .node file.

-o2 Generates second-order subparametric elements.

-f Outputs faces (including non-boundary faces) to .face file.

-e Outputs subsegments to .edge file.

-n Outputs tetrahedra neighbors to .neigh file.

-g Outputs mesh to .mesh file for viewing by Medit.

-G Outputs mesh to .msh file for viewing by Gid.

-O Outputs mesh to .off file for viewing by Geomview.

-B Suppresses output of boundary information.

-N Suppresses output of .node file.

-E Suppresses output of .ele file.

-F Suppresses output of .face file.

-I Suppresses mesh iteration numbers.

-C Checks the consistency of the final mesh.

-Q Quiet: No terminal output except errors.

-V Verbose: Detailed information on what I'm doing.

-v Prints the version information.

-h Help: A brief instruction for using TetGen.

EXAMPLES


The wing is described in two files: wing.node and wing.poly. The command line:

tetgen -pq wing

generates the quality mesh in three files: wing.1.node, wing.1.ele, and wing.1.face.

Default, the radius-edge ratio of each tetrahedron is bounded below 2.0. You can impose a
tight bound by adding a number directly after the '-q' switch. Like this:

tetgen -pq1.2 wing

generates a quality mesh which have more points inserted than the mesh created in above.

See http://tetgen.berlios.de/switches.examples.html for more examples.
