Introduction

Morphic is a convinient module for mesh creation, analysis, rendering and fitting to data.

Currently it can handle 1D and 2D meshes with:

• Lagrange elements (up to 4th-order)
• Triangle elements (up to 4th order)
• Hermite elements (cubic-Hermites only)

Morphic also offers four types of nodes allowing creation of complex meshes:

• Standard nodes which store field values, e.g., x, y, z and temperature, with components such as derivatives.
• Dependent node which can be calculated from a location on another element, for example, hanging nodes.
• PCA nodes to handle PCA models (todo)
• Mapping nodes which can be based on values from other nodes. This allows versions of nodes or the creation of a node for a cubic-Hermite element where the derivatives might be computed from a lagrange element.

Note

3D and higher-dimensional meshes are possible but it has not been fully implemented.

The following tutorials will go through the process of building meshes and fitting meshes.
