Presentation

Crystalpy is a Python program which can generate several kinds of periodic crystal mesh geometries for Gmsh:

• 2D or 3D
• rectangular or triangular (hexagonal) crystals

It can also:

• generate 2D SVG representations of those geometries
• define physical points in the meshes

Several types of inclusions can be defined:

• filled or not with a material
• circular, elliptic or rectangular
• inside or outside the host material

Crystalpy supports unit tests with nosetests.

Usage

• Define the geometry of your crystal in mesh.py
• Run python mesh.py
