Convert 2D Triangular Mesh to 3D Prismatic Mesh

Convert 2D Triangular Mesh to 3D Prismatic Mesh

Convert 2D triangular mesh to 3D prismatic mesh with example file. The following functions are included:

1-function [Nodes3D,Prisms] = Mesh2D_to_Mesh3D(Nodes,Triangles,t,z): Converts 2D triangular mesh to 3D prismatic mesh

2-function Plot_Mesh2D(Nodes,Triangles): Plots 2D triangular mesh

3-function Plot_Mesh3D(Nodes3D,Prisms): Plots 3D prismatic mesh

where:

Nodes: is matrix of size (NNodes,2) containing the xy coordinates of the 2D mesh nodes.

Triangles: is matrix of size (NTriangles,3) containing the connectivity of the 2D mesh triangles

t: spacing of extrusion in z direction.

z: is a vector of size containing minimium and maximium range of extrusion in z direction.

Nodes3D: is matrix of size (NNodes3D,3) containing the xyz coordinates of the 3D mesh nodes.

Prisms: is matrix of size (NPrisms,6) containing the connectivity of the 3D mesh prisms.
