mphmeshstats

stats = mphmeshstats(model) returns mesh statistics of the model mesh case in the structure str.

stats = mphmeshstats(model, meshtag, ...) returns mesh statistics of a mesh case meshtag in the structure str.

[stats,data] = mphmeshstats(model, meshtag, ...) returns in addition the mesh data information such as vertex coordinates and definitions of elements in the structure data.

The function mphmeshstats accepts the following property/value pairs:

Table 6-20: property/value Pairs for the mphmeshstats Command
property	Value	default	description
entity*	domain \| boundary \| edge \| point		Selected entity type
qualityhistogram	Integer	20	Number of bins in the quality distribution histogram
qualitymeasure	condition \| growth \| maxangle \| skewness \| volcircum \| vollength	volcircum	Quality measure
selection	String \| Positive integer array		Selection tag or entity number
type*	ctx \| edg \| tri \| quad \| tet \| pyr \| prism \| hex		Restrict statistics to element types. Can also be a cell array.

* Selection and Entity properties cannot be set if the data structure is returned.

The output structure stats contains the following fields:

Field	Description
meshtag	Mesh case tag
geomtag	Associated geometry tag
isactive	Is the mesh node active
hasproblems	Does the mesh have problems?
iscomplete	Is the mesh built to completion?
sdim	Space dimension
secondorderelements	Does the mesh have second-order elements?
contributing	Contributing physics and multiphysics
types	Cell array with type names
numelem	Vector with the number of elements for each type
qualitymeasure	Quality measure
minquality	Minimum quality
meanquality	Mean quality
qualitydistr	Quality distribution (vector)
minvolume	Volume/area of the smallest element
maxvolume	Volume/area of the largest element
volume	Volume/area of the mesh
maxgrowthrate	Maximum growth rate*
meangrowthrate	Mean growth rate*

* Provides statistics for the entire selection regardless of the element type property.

The output structure data contains the following fields:
