fem.properties.cell_centroids

fem.properties.cell_centroids(points, cells)

Element centroids, (C, 3), differentiable in points.

Computed from the element’s straight corners only: a TET10’s midside nodes would bias the mean away from the centroid of the straight-sided tet the mesher actually produced.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
points	Any	Node positions (N, 3) (may be traced).	required
cells	Any	Connectivity (C, 8) (HEX8), (C, 4) or (C, 10) (tets).	required

Returns

Name	Type	Description
	Any	A JAX array of element centroids, (C, 3).
