5 Arguments

1: $\mathbf{nvb}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the number of vertices in the input boundary mesh.

Constraint: $\mathbf{nvb}\ge 3$.

2: $\mathbf{nvint}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the number of fixed interior mesh vertices to which a weight will be applied.

Constraint: $\mathbf{nvint}\ge 0$.

3: $\mathbf{nvmax}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the maximum number of vertices in the mesh to be generated.

Constraint: $\mathbf{nvmax}\ge \mathbf{nvb}+\mathbf{nvint}$.

4: $\mathbf{nedge}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the number of boundary edges in the input mesh.

Constraint: $\mathbf{nedge}\ge 1$.

5: $\mathbf{edge}\left(3,\mathbf{nedge}\right)$ – Integer array Input

On entry: the specification of the boundary edges. $\mathbf{edge}\left(1,j\right)$ and $\mathbf{edge}\left(2,j\right)$ contain the vertex numbers of the two end points of the $j$th boundary edge. $\mathbf{edge}\left(3,j\right)$ is a user-supplied tag for the $j$th boundary edge and is not used by d06abf.

Constraint: $1\le \mathbf{edge}\left(\mathit{i},\mathit{j}\right)\le \mathbf{nvb}$ and $\mathbf{edge}\left(1,\mathit{j}\right)\ne \mathbf{edge}\left(2,\mathit{j}\right)$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2$ and $\mathit{j}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{nedge}$.

6: $\mathbf{nv}$ – Integer Output

On exit: the total number of vertices in the output mesh (including both boundary and interior vertices). If $\mathbf{nvb}+\mathbf{nvint}=\mathbf{nvmax}$, no interior vertices will be generated and $\mathbf{nv}=\mathbf{nvmax}$.

7: $\mathbf{nelt}$ – Integer Output

On exit: the number of triangular elements in the mesh.

8: $\mathbf{coor}\left(2,\mathbf{nvmax}\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input/Output

On entry: $\mathbf{coor}\left(1,\mathit{i}\right)$ contains the $x$ coordinate of the $\mathit{i}$th input boundary mesh vertex, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{nvb}$. $\mathbf{coor}\left(1,\mathit{i}\right)$ contains the $x$ coordinate of the $\left(\mathit{i}-\mathbf{nvb}\right)$th fixed interior vertex, for $\mathit{i}=\mathbf{nvb}+1,\dots ,\mathbf{nvb}+\mathbf{nvint}$. For boundary and interior vertices, $\mathbf{coor}\left(2,\mathit{i}\right)$ contains the corresponding $y$ coordinate, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{nvb}+\mathbf{nvint}$.

On exit: $\mathbf{coor}\left(1,\mathit{i}\right)$ will contain the $x$ coordinate of the $\left(\mathit{i}-\mathbf{nvb}-\mathbf{nvint}\right)$th generated interior mesh vertex, for $\mathit{i}=\mathbf{nvb}+\mathbf{nvint}+1,\dots ,\mathbf{nv}$; while $\mathbf{coor}\left(2,i\right)$ will contain the corresponding $y$ coordinate. The remaining elements are unchanged.

9: $\mathbf{conn}\left(3,2\times \mathbf{nvmax}+5\right)$ – Integer array Output

On exit: the connectivity of the mesh between triangles and vertices. For each triangle $\mathit{j}$, $\mathbf{conn}\left(\mathit{i},\mathit{j}\right)$ gives the indices of its three vertices (in anticlockwise order), for $\mathit{i}=1,2,3$ and $\mathit{j}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{nelt}$.

10: $\mathbf{weight}\left(*\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input

Note: the dimension of the array weight must be at least $\max \left(1,\mathbf{nvint}\right)$.

On entry: the weight of fixed interior vertices. It is the diameter of triangles (length of the longer edge) created around each of the given interior vertices.

Constraint: if $\mathbf{nvint}>0$, $\mathbf{weight}\left(\mathit{i}\right)>0.0$, for $\mathit{i}=1,2,\dots ,\mathbf{nvint}$.

11: $\mathbf{npropa}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the propagation type and coefficient, the argument npropa is used when the internal points are created. They are distributed in a geometric manner if npropa is positive and in an arithmetic manner if it is negative. For more details see Section 9.

Constraint: $\mathbf{npropa}\ne 0$.

12: $\mathbf{itrace}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the level of trace information required from d06abf.

$\mathbf{itrace}\le 0$

No output is generated.

$\mathbf{itrace}\ge 1$

Output from the meshing solver is printed on the current advisory message unit (see x04abf). This output contains details of the vertices and triangles generated by the process.

You are advised to set $\mathbf{itrace}=0$, unless you are experienced with finite element mesh generation.

13: $\mathbf{rwork}\left(\mathbf{lrwork}\right)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace

14: $\mathbf{lrwork}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the dimension of the array rwork as declared in the (sub)program from which d06abf is called.

Constraint: $\mathbf{lrwork}\ge 12\times \mathbf{nvmax}+15$.

15: $\mathbf{iwork}\left(\mathbf{liwork}\right)$ – Integer array Workspace

16: $\mathbf{liwork}$ – Integer Input

On entry: the dimension of the array iwork as declared in the (sub)program from which d06abf is called.

Constraint: $\mathbf{liwork}\ge 6\times \mathbf{nedge}+32\times \mathbf{nvmax}+2\times \mathbf{nvb}+78$.

17: $\mathbf{ifail}$ – Integer Input/Output

On entry: ifail must be set to $0$, $-1$ or $1$ to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.

A value of $0$ causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of $-1$ means that an error message is printed while a value of $1$ means that it is not.

If halting is not appropriate, the value $-1$ or $1$ is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value $1$ is recommended. Otherwise, the value $0$ is recommended. When the value $-\mathbf{1}$ or $\mathbf{1}$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On exit: $\mathbf{ifail}=\mathbf{0}$ unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

$\mathbf{ifail}=2$

An error has occurred during the generation of the interior mesh. Check the definition of the boundary (arguments coor and edge) as well as the orientation of the boundary (especially in the case of a multiple connected component boundary). Setting $\mathbf{itrace}>0$ may provide more details.

$\mathbf{ifail}=3$

An error has occurred during the generation of the boundary mesh. It appears that nvmax is not large enough: $\mathbf{nvmax}=〈\mathit{\text{value}}〉$.

$\mathbf{ifail}=-99$

An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
