Editing created mesh #110

Open A-ep93 opened 3 years ago

Hello, How can we edit the mesh created with Cleaver. I think it is I can move some nodes and apply some small changes to the created mesh after it is generated. Is it possible? Thanks in advance

Cleaver doesn't have manual editing capabilities. Nor I have not found many great ways to manually edit a tetrahedral mesh. You could certainly use matlab or python to change node positions by editing them directly, but it may be challenging to do so. There are some manual widgets in SCIRun that could be used to move some nodes around. It requires the GenerateSinglePointProbeFromField and CalculateNode modules. You will need to try to figure out the indices to the nodes that you want to move to do that, which may be challenging for a large mesh. MeshLab is a tool that has some manual editing tools that you could try.

Thanks for your response @jessdtate. Another quick question, do you have any detailed explanation on how to install cleaver on ubuntu?
