FEM2D_SCALAR_DISPLAY
Surface Plot of Scalar FEM2D Data


FEM2D_SCALAR_DISPLAY, a MATLAB program which reads datafiles describing a set of nodes, their triangulation, and the value of a scalar quantity at each node, and creates a graphics file of the corresponding surface plot, which is then displayed using the MATLAB graphics system.

The program reads three data files:

Usage:

fem2d_scalar_display ( 'prefix' )
where 'prefix' is the common prefix for the node, element and value files:
